Gloria In Excelsis Deo

(Click the title to view and hear online)

This masterwork has been edited for changing voices. This four-part edition maintains the authenticity of the work with only enough changes to conform to the range and tessitura limitations of the early adolescent singers. Optional notes are provided in Part IV, to offer the boys lower or higher notes when the original notes are out of their comfortable singing range.

This is an exciting "Classsical" work in Latin. The work is appropriately challenging. The singers will find that the musical end is worth their effort.

Music by W. A. Mozart, 1791
