With this three-movement Gloria for SATB divisi choir, solo quartet, and orchestra, Hayes has made yet another important contribution to the serious concert repertoire, and added to the already published Magnificat (45/1147R). The chamber orchestra accompaniment is an exceptional complement to the choral writing while also allowing for a more accessible performance option, and the full orchestral version makes a first-rate concert showpiece worthy of all fine choirs and orchestras.
