Gloria: Tenor Solo. Treble Voices, Mixed Chorus, Brass, Timpani, and Organ

The work presents a festive alternative to John Rutter's popular compositions, showcasing MacMillan's pragmatic approach. It offers an impressive listening experience while remaining accessible for skilled musicians. Although instrumentalists require agility, the choral parts are designed for ambitious choirs, striking a balance between challenge and feasibility. Notably, there are significant unaccompanied sections that demand precision in pitch from the performers.
