Gloria Scores

If you need a copy printed for you because you don't have printing capabilities at home, please email us.

Otherwise, here are pdfs of two versions of the Gloria score that you can print at home. If you got a printed copy at the first rehearsal night you will need a new one, as those copies were incomplete. Please print either version for yourself. The "Gloria_WithSolos" is the full piece including solo movements and will require some corrections to match Gene Marie's score. The "Gloria_Vivaldi" is the version Gene Marie is using and does not include all the solo parts.

Listen to the Music

Listen to the Gloria: https://www.allmusic.com/album/vivaldi-gloria-mw0001411768?1631717234122

This performance by Northern Texas is worth a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvZYhxT5Mf8

And if you want to follow along with the score, this is a helpful reference:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ICW_iZcti4

Listen to the Messiah:

We are using the Schirmer edition of the Messiah.  The following choruses are good for reference, but the soloists are using the Novello edition and the voicing differs from Schirmer.  

This is a good guide for choruses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSWreIkLM3E

Here are all the choruses with a score if you wish to follow along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRAbF5T2NUY&list=PL2k8ekJXk4nXLCbHx5AteWsek1q3k0BfH&index=17

The tempos are on the fast side, but it can be helpful to see what else is going on around you.
