This festive setting of the Glory to God is perfect for a congregation that wishes to sing in both Latin and English. The assembly sings short and memorable Latin responses, while the parts for cantor and choir are in English. For regular use, it can be sung in unison, with keyboard accompaniment, but adding the SATB parts will enhance any celebration of the Mass. The piece is well-balanced between contrasting chant-like phrases and sections set in a more modern musical idiom using upbeat rhythms and choral harmonies. This octavo is particularly well-suited for occasions where multiple parishes may be gathered.
