Prelude and Gloria for Concert Band

This piece is inspired largely by medieval and early Renaissance music, specifically chant and some early organum. Melodic material is quoted from five different intonations (or “incipits”) that were sung throughout the Renaissance to introduce the “Gloria” of the Mass Ordinary, usually sung by a cantor. “Prelude and Gloria” was a 2nd place winner of the 2017 New Music for Wind Ensemble competition at James Madison University. This product listing includes printed score (11x17 spiral bound) and a full set of printed parts (9x12).
