I don't know the piece, but using 2/8 seems perfectly appropriate to me, rather than 1/4. 1/x bars are strange creatures - they seem to have an ability to confuse otherwise-levelheaded musicians and conductors.

(Very off-topic - I think it's the Lutoslawski piano concerto that ends with a bar of 1/32...no question of hanging on with that last note!)

A quick question.

In the Alleluia, which is mostly in 4/4, there are a couple of 2/8 measures.

Aren't the eighth notes supposed to remain at a constant tempo?

Shouldn't these measures have been written in 1/4 (or combined into 5/4 with the previous measure - there are other instances of 5/4 measures in the piece)?

Or does the tempo change?

Thanks.
