Gloria in excelsis a 8

Ferdinando Lazzari's Gloria in excelsis is a substantial setting of the familiar Mass text, written for double choir (SATB.SATB). The Latin text is traditionally sung at the beginning of the Mass and here receives a grand and expansive treatment befitting its liturgical importance. Lazzari, working within the sacred music tradition, crafts a polyphonic texture that allows for rich sonorities and contrasts between the two choirs. This setting offers an opportunity for a choir to explore the dramatic and joyful proclamation of 'Glory to God in the highest' through the intricate interplay of eight vocal parts.
