This glorious anthem is the feel good piece of the season! Exuberant and filled with the Spirit, your choir will shout the comfort and joy as it interacts with the soloist and connects with the urban gospel styling of this arrangement. The traditional Christmas Gloria is reimagined with articulate syncopations and powerful chords of praise, complete with moments for clapping and the addition of a worship band. Careful attention has been paid to avoid the uncomfortable vocal tessituras often associated with this style. Score and Parts (tpt 1-2, tsx, tbn, pno, rhy) available as a digital download.
