Ralph Fiennes as troubled musical director

- 

Hallelujah! The Choral is a quietly uplifting and surprisingly sombre meditation on community spirit nestled in the kind of resilient, warmhearted town in the North of England that has served Alan Bennett well as playwright and screenwriter.

In 1916 as brave young men go to war, mill owner Alderman Duxbury (Roger Allam) and his associates face their own challenge in the Yorkshire town of Ramsden: to recruit a new music director for the choral society's forthcoming concert performance.
