A majestic, fanfare-like opening leads to an exuberant theme accompanied by a driving, yet not difficult piano part. The Latin text makes it ideal for year round use at concerts, festivals, contests, and adjudications. A concert choir winner from Jay Althouse. This powerful Vivaldi choral work opens with a slow, homophonic section and a brief andante passage before developing into a joyous, contrapuntal allegro. It's perfect for festivals as well as concert and contest use.
Ranges are moderate.
Well edited for today's choirs by Patrick Liebergen, the publication includes extensive Editor's Notes, a Latin pronunciation guide, and an English translation of the text. Glory Bound arr. Great fun for 2-part choirs. Bright SoundTrax or Pax adds pizzazz. Tell It on the Mountain arr.
