GLORIA GIARDINIERE (152200H ) (SA Sacred )

Launch into your next concert or festival appearance with this animated original that explores a playful interaction between major/minor tonalities and joyful rhythms within the 6/8 meter. Composed in a rounded ABA form using a traditional Latin text, this work is singable, expressive, and at times dramatic, featuring a dynamic piano accompaniment that supports and enhances the musical color in live performance. Sensible ranges, extended unison passages, and a striking finale make this selection a marvelous choice for teaching and programming with a wide range of choral groups.
