This is a remake of a medieval motet, Alle, psallite cum luya (Halle, sing with lujah), and the only cover in my drum and voice album in progress, Tempus Imperfectum. As is the case with every track on the album so far, nearly all that you hear in this track has been done by yours truly — all the drums, all the voices — except for the mastering on all tracks, done by my friend Richard Patrick Davey.

At the time of writing, Tempus is 40% complete. I hope to make it 50% by the end of the Octave of Easter. June 2023 will mark a year since I began work on this project, to give you an idea of the time and scale of it. This is the only track I am prematurely releasing.

I chose to include this song in my Tempus project because this song was given to me by a close confidant, who empathised with my desire to drum in a sacred context, and gave me this song to encourage me. I imagined a scene at Easter with plenty of drums and dancing, and plenty of room for anyone and everyone to join in the dance. This is how I imagine triumphant music at Easter to sound like. It is a departure from most people's thoughts about sacred music at Easter, for sure. I felt compelled to share it with you all, so here it is. Look forward to the album when it releases!

And with that, I wish you all a happy and restful Easter.

LYRICS:

Alle, psallite cum luya!

Alle, concrepando psallite cum luya!

Alle, corde voto Deo toto psallite cum luya!

Alleluya!

TRANSLATION:

Halle, sing with lujah!

Halle, loudly sing with lujah!

Halle, with hearts wholly devoted to God, sing with lujah!

Hallelujah!
