Commissioned by the American Choral Directors Association and first performed at the 2015 ACDA Convention in Salt Lake City, this setting of the Gloria text from the Christian Mass (in Latin) is a highly energetic, rhythmic piece with a contrasting, lyrical middle section.

This unlikely partnership sets the stage for some very interesting rhythmic effects as two strong and opposing meters struggle for dominance. As a striking opener or a 'contrast' piece, THE H…

Dominick DiOrio has chosen the vivid and striking poetry of Amy Lowell for this powerful work. Lowell's poetry explores the awakening of one's passions by the arrival of a before-absent lover. DiOrio paints this internal exultation with glissandi in the voices, richly-harmonized chords and high chromatic ululations of a solo soprano. This was the first prize winner of the Cerddorion Vocal Ensemble…
