Additional Information

The Chorus presented John Rutter's epic and powerful 3-movement choral work, Gloria.

This concert this season is entitled Gloria! The music for this season revolves around the theme of joy, excitement, and fulfillment of Psalm 100: to make a joyful noise.

We concluded this concert with the epic three movement work, Gloria, by Sir John Rutter. First performed in 1974, Gloria truly is a masterwork akin to a symphony but for voice. The first movement is a triumphant fanfare. Following typical symphonic form, the second movement is slower, softer, and reflective. The final movement of this piece returns to a rhythmic, joyful declaration.

We were fortunate to have our talented accompanist and organist, Nate Terry, join on the Rexford Keller Memorial Organ, a Klais organ. The instrument, built and installed by the Klais organ company in Bonn, Germany, is a four-manual, tracker action organ with 82 ranks, 55 stops, and 4,644 pipes. It is the largest of the 12 Klais organs in the United States.
