Gloria Vocal Score

Messa di Gloria (vocal score). The full Vocal Score edition of Puccini's Messa Di Gloria, arranged here for Tenor, Baritone and Bass Solo, mixed voice choir SATB and a Piano reduction of the orchestral parts.

The chorus score contains no Piano reduction or solo parts - for full Vocal score (with Piano reduction) see BA7674-90. Today the ?Gloria? RV 589 (BA 7674) is one of Vivaldi?s best-known compositions and one of the most frequently performed sacred Vocal works from the Baroque period.Vivaldi wrote the ?Gloria? as a self-contained work in the style of a concertante mass. However it was probably also performed within church services. The scoring of the solo voices (SSA) suggests that the work was written during his period at the Ospedale della Piet around 1716. In the twelve movements of the ?Gloria? Vivaldidisplays the whole range of his mastery from festive sublime outer movements to tender transparently scored solo passages.The same mastery has also been applied to the ?Kyrie? RV 587 (BA 8950) scored for two choirs and two groups of stringed instruments. The date of its composition remains unclear. It is a purely a choral work without solo passages.Both works can be performed independently but can also be combined as a kind of short mass. Although the authenticity of the autograph manuscript score is beyond doubt these new editions contain some re-evaluations in phrasing and performance practice which go beyond what other editions have to offer. The Piano reductions are straightforward clearly presented and preserve the character of the works.- Attractive Choral pieces which can be combined to form a short mass.- Vocal score as well as choral score available for the ?Gloria?.- Informative foreword (Ger/Eng).

Mozart had barely turned twelve when he composed and conducted his Missa solemnis in C minor K.139 to inaugurate a new orphanage on Vienna?s Rennweg in 1768.This astonishing early work adheres to the form of a Neapolitan cantata mass in which the separate movements (?Gloria? ?Credo? etc.) are themselves made up of self-contained choruses ariosos and ensembles.This frequently heard Mass is characterized by a sharp contrast between its cheerful underlying C major mood and gloomy dramatic passages in the minor mode.Urtext of the New Mozart EditionStraightforward piano part in the vocal scoreIdeal for church services andconcert performances Full score & performance material (BA4858) and vocal score (BA4858-90) available for saleArrangement for soloists choir & organ (BA7521) for sale

This jubilant single-movement setting of the Latin Gloria by celebrated organist Simon Johnson has something for everyone. Scored for SATB choir with Brass Ensemble Organ and Timpani (or Organ alone) the work is highly original and packed with content including recurring rhythmic and melodic motifs harmonic twists a peaceful central section and a four-part fugue.Johnson's Choral writing is clean and concise and more experienced singers will find the vocal lines approachable and enjoyable. The instrumental Ensemble/Organ part is integral to the work featuring short interludes driving rhythms and melodic and textural interest aswell as providing support to the voices where necessary. This exciting work holds its own among more established Gloria settings and will stand the test of time.

Full Score- A splendid curtain-raiser to Vivaldi's Gloria Francesco Durante's artful Magnificat has long been misattributed to his pupil Pergolesi in a version for four voices not five. Durante's vocally richer five-voice version has been chosen for the SacredChoruses volume which this orchestration accompanies and merits performance as an alternative to the familiar four-voice version which may or may not have been Durante's own work.
