performing Poulenc's "Gloria"
Francis Poulenc’s Gloria is a vibrant and dynamic choral masterpiece, blending sacred grandeur with playful, unexpected harmonies. Composed in 1959, this six-movement work for choir, soprano solo, and orchestra combines reverence with Poulenc’s signature lightness and charm, making it both profound and joyful. The text is taken from the Gloria of the traditional Latin Mass, which Poulenc sets with a unique mix of exuberance, contemplation, and lyrical beauty.
