The ''Gloria'' by Francis Poulenc (FP 177), scored for soprano solo, large orchestra, and chorus, is a setting of the Roman Catholic Gloria in excelsis Deo text. One of Poulenc's most celebrated works, the ''Gloria'' was commissioned by the Koussevitsky Foundation in honor of Sergei Koussevitzky and his wife Natalia, the namesakes of the foundation. ''Gloria'' was premiered on 21 January 1961 in Boston, Massachusetts by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Chorus Pro Musica under conductor Charles Münch with Adele Addison as soloist. The first recording (also in 1961), for EMI, was conducted by Georges Prêtre, under the supervision of the composer, with Rosanna Carteri as the soloist. Among later recordings of the music, the RCA Victor recording by the Robert Shaw Chorale in 1965 won a Grammy Award for the "Best Choral Performance." ==Movements== The work is divided into six movements as follows: # Gloria in excelsis Deo (G major) # Laudamus te (C major) # Domine Deus, Rex caelestis (B minor) # Domine Fili unigenite (G major) # Domine Deus, Agnus Dei (B-flat minor) # Qui sedes (G major) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gloria (Poulenc)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
