of the traditional Latin text is reminiscent of Randall
Thompson: a brief choral work on the "Gloria" text,

meter shifts and the change in mood on "et in
terra pax." Small percussion instruments add just a
touch of sparkle and occasional divisi give richness
and color at just the appropriate times.
