Description
The Gloria from the Latin Mass has inspired musicians for centuries as it strives to pay homage to God. This work for orchestra and two part choir is joyous, energetic and eminently playable. A number of instruments are covered by alternative instruments so that virtually any ensemble can play Excelsis effectively. The two vocal parts may be easily sung down the octave by male voices. Each section of the orchestra is featured in the interludes throughout and the work ends with an exuberant flourish.
