Product Description

•••••

A centennial celebration of Langlais’ legacy of sacred music, featuring three masses and nine anthems for choir, organ works, and rare compositions for brass performed by members of Gabriel V.

"I have been amazed by the very high level of the performances, the choir, (for once, there are very good tenors and basses!) the brasses, brilliant, and the organists. The accompaniment, for example, of the Messe Solennelle is absolutely magnificent, as are the very good tempi taken in all this mass: not too slow, not too fast, the perfect tempi in a beautiful acoustic. And the Grand Orgue interventions are striking. I should say: one of the very best performances of this mass I ever heard. In my opinion, Gloriae Dei Cantores are a top choir, certainly one of the best in the USA, and Elizabeth Patterson's direction of my husband's music is absolutely wonderful. She understood everything, in the big vocal works as in the more intimate motets. MANY THANKS to everybody and congratulations."

- Madame Marie-Louise Langlais

PRAISE:

"This beautifully produced recording features music of Langlais for choir, organ and brass spanning over 40 years. Under the skillful leadership of Elizabeth Patterson, the 40-plus voice Gloriae Dei Cantores... perform with great care, commitment, precision, balance, integrity and sensitivity. These are exemplary performances, recorded during the centennial year of Langlais' birth, offering an opportunity to experience some of his lesser-known works."

- The American Organist

"This collection of vocal and instrumental music will help fill the void in recordings...of Langlais."

"If you like Langlais you will enjoy this collection. The choir is excellent....Chalmers offers a first-rate job on Fete. There's a good balance between choir and organ."
