Gloria (from Missa Brevis). By Zoltan Kodaly (1882-1967) and Zoltan Kod. For Choral, Organ (SATB, Organ). Boosey & Hawkes Sacred Choral. 12 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M051481200. Published by Boosey & Hawkes.
Kodály's Missa Brevis was first performed in 1945, just after the end of the Second World War. It is a hymn to hope in the divinity that provides comfort and strength in the most difficult of circumstances. Divided into deliberate sections, “Gloria” opens with a plainchant followed by a chorus fanfare, to a solo section at a much slower tempo, and ends in a joyful character to the final Amen. Duration: ca. 4:00.
