Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary

This joyful anthem of praise, with a text by James Quinn, has a very accessible melody which should encourage congregational participation. Scored with a soaring soprano descant, optional SATB verses, Bb trumpet, and lush organ accompaniment, this piece is ideal for adding a majestic touch to any liturgy. The five verses feature The Resurrection, The Ascension, The Coming of the Holy Spirit, The Assumption of Our Lady into Heaven and The Coronation of Our Lady in Heaven. Its refrain text, Gaude ("Rejoice") emphasizes the joy of Christ and his Mother.
