Description: This is a contrafactum of the Gradual and Alleluia for St. Peter and St. Paul by H.B. Collins, that was written for the Birmingham Oratory choir in June 1902. I have reworked this as a Gradual and Alleluia for the third Sunday in Advent. It can be split into two pieces for performance in the Novus Ordo Missae.
