Gloria - Performance CD

Composer(s): Mark Hayes;

Mark Hayes’s unique and distinctive blending of contemporary rhythms and harmonies with more traditional elements is a hallmark of his style, and one of the many qualities that has endeared his choral music to singers of all levels and genres. With this three-movement Gloria for SATB “divisi” choir, solo quartet, and orchestra, Hayes has made yet another important contribution to the serious concert repertoire, and added to the already published “Magnificat” (45/1147R). The chamber orchestra accompaniment is an exceptional complement to the choral writing while also allowing for a more accessible performance option, and the full orchestral version makes a first-rate concert showpiece worthy of all fine choirs and orchestras.
