Francis Poulenc's Gloria - La Jolla Symphony and Chorus

submitted by chrisnet on 12/28/18 1

(Visit: www.uctv.tv/) Composer Francis Poulenc maintained that one need not be solemn to praise God, and that belief is echoed is his "Gloria." Indeed, listeners not otherwise informed may not guess it's the setting of a sacred text (in this case, the second part of the Roman Catholic Mass liturgy). Poulenc's score is by turns melodic, rhythmic, serene, piquant, high-spirited, slightly dissonant, subdued, or strident, but is never less than charming. Recorded on 12/10/2017. Series: "La Jolla Symphony & Chorus" [3/2018] [Show ID: 33377]
