HOW TO USE THIS PIECE

Gloria from the Gloria Mass

(Click the title to view and hear online)

This masterwork has been edited for changing voices. This four-part arrangement maintains the authenticity of the work with only enough changes to conform to the range and tessitura limitations of the early adolescent singers. Optional notes are provided in Part IV, to offer the boys lower or higher notes when the original notes are out of their comfortable singing range.

Because this work is on the Georgia and Texas state contest and festival lists, it has among our most popular selections.
