Hallelujah

Composer: Handel

Sung by: a chorus

Lyrics:

HALLELUJAH! for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ: and He shall reign for ever and ever.

KING OF KINGS, and LORD OF LORDS, HALLELUJAH!

Note: You may recall that Hallelujah is repeated many more times than is suggested by these lyrics.

Rationale

This piece expresses how a good product owner feels after the team delivers the first release. Certainly he may hope that the product will last for ever and ever. (But we know that's not likely.) That it will be triumphant for a brief time he can more realistically hope.

It may also express how the Team feels at the same time.
