The Angels' Gloria!

Description

Soprano 1, Soprano 2, Alto, Piano — I've always enjoyed celebratory and rhythmic singing.xa0 I also know there's a need for this style in treble voices. The holiday season is a perfect time to create such a work.The text of The Angels' Gloria is based on the familiar Montgomery hymn with original music. This work can be easily be done as a "call and answer" or antiphonal setting. Try using it as a processional, too. Hearing the voices surround the audience is always exciting for everyone and a superb teaching and learning experience.The accompaniment is intentionally simple and bell-like, supporting the three-part harmonies. I've also created a B-section that is a cappella in full three-part singing, rich and full giving lots of contrast to the piece.There is so much good teaching throughout the piece, making for interesting rehearsals and a terrific performance piece. I hope this adds just the right sparkle for your Christmas or holiday program.—Greg Gilpin A great way to add sparkle for your Christmas or holiday program, Gilpin's piece for treble voices is both joyful and powerful. With an accompaniment that is bell-like in nature, The Angels' Gloria will help ring in the holidays!
