Saints Hallelujah (Redux) is a listener suggestion from my father, Paul Morneau. This is essentially a cover version of a piece created by Luther Henderson for The Canadian Brass. Henderson's version is an arrangement that marries When the Saints Go Marching In with Handel's Hallelujah – an early mashup. It features an impressive trombone solo and serves as a signature piece in The Canadian Brass repertoire.
My first exposure to this piece came in high school when a friend lent me a video of the group performing. I can still remember sitting in the living room with my dad, completely blown away by the piece. Obviously it had a long-lasting effect on my own work.
This version of the piece uses a recording of When the Saints Go Marching In by The Preservation Hall Jazz Band and a recording of the Hallelujah Chorus. Enjoy
