Gloria, laus et honor tibi

This powerful motet, Gloria, laus et honor tibi, is by Carl Luython and is scored for SSATTB voices. Sung in Latin, it is a sacred work of considerable grandeur, suitable for a significant liturgical occasion. Its intricate vocal writing and rich harmonies would have been typical of the motets composed for services in the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. The text, expressing praise and honour to Christ, allows for a sonorous and devotional musical setting. Choir directors will find this a rewarding piece to programme, offering an opportunity to explore expressive sacred polyphony with a substantial vocal ensemble.
