The second movement from Craig Curry’s five-movement Jazz Mass, Gloria is an energetic and joyful samba that never quits! Closely following an updated English translation of the traditional Latin Gloria text (We praise You, we adore You, we glorify You), the piece contains space to feature instrumental solos (alto sax and trumpet). Curry suggests those with a jazz background improvise in marked solo sections. However, for those without improvisation skills, fully notated solos may be played note for note, ensuring an authentic sounding result. The piano accompaniment and bass part are also fully notated. A challenging scat soli provides contrast in the middle section, before the return of the main theme.
Available for download, your purchase includes pdfs of the conductor score, a choral score (Piano/Vocal), instrumental parts (piano, bass, drums, guitar, alto sax, trumpet and trombone), and permission to make as many copies as needed for your performance.
Whether performed as part of the liturgy or a concert piece, Gloria is an experience your choir and audience will long remember!
Performance Time: 5:30 minutes
Performance by JVE, the Friends University Jazz Vocal Ensemble.
Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Glory to God in the highest, Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth to all, Peace on earth to all,
Peace on earth to all those of good will!
We praise You. We bless You. We adore You. We glorify You.
We give You thanks for Your great glory,
O Lord and Heav'nly King, God the Father Almighty.
O Lord, only begotten Son Jesus Christ, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us, have mercy on us.
You take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer, receive our prayer.
You are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy, have mercy on us.
