n GloriaCraig Courtney. Craig Courtney's setting
of the traditional Latin text is reminiscent of Randall
Thompson: a brief choral work on the Gloria text,
a cappella, with an effervescent joy, occasional
meter shifts and the change in mood on "et in

touch of sparkle and occasional divisi give richness
and color at just the appropriate times. Suitable
for Christmas concerts and church services,
festival appearances, as a concert opener or
service prelude, this promises to be one of Craig's
most enduring works and we offer it to singers
everywhere with our highest recommendation.
