Gloria

Sunday, November 9, 2003 - 4:00pm
UUCCSM Choir

The choir will perform Antonio Vivaldi's "Gloria" in its entirety at both services. Composed nearly three centuries ago, the "Gloria" is one of the great masterpieces of religious art of the eighteenth century, and speaks powerfully to us today. Though many know Vivaldi as the composer of "The Four Seasons" and hundreds of instrumental concerti, he was also a master composer of opera, song, and choral music. The "Gloria" represents his highest achievement in this field.

A string ensemble and Louis Durra on harpsichord will join the choir. Soprano Angela Meade is the featured soloist.
