Confitemini Domino
This setting of the well-known Psalm is both thoughtful and reflective in nature. With appropriate ranges and tonal centers, it is an excellent vehicle for introducing SSA part singing to a developing treble choir, while challenging enough for a more advanced choir to demonstrate musical prowess.

My Lord, What a Morning
The 4 meter of the spiritual
against the 3+3+2 feel in
the accompaniment creates
a striking tension and an
energy that propels this
arrangement to an exciting
climax. The setting is fresh
and appealing, the emotion
is pure and mysterious,
filled with awe and wonder.
A must for your mixed ensemble.

A
Peaceful Gloria
Exquisitely expressive, this
work pulls the initial text of
the Gloria apart and treats each
section differently, each
beautifully and peacefully. Greg
then combines the three
sections, bringing together
heaven, earth and man to a
peaceful, quiet close. There are
aesthetic experiences to be
found in this work.

Triumphant Gloria
This Gloria is bold and
exciting. Alternating voices
create an antiphonal effect.
The ending is dynamic and
strong. Easy to learn, but
powerful in approach. Don't
pass this one up. Add the
trumpet trio if you want
added color and power. (Medium Easy)
