from Missa Brevis San Marco
The renowned South African composer Franco Prinsloo composed this Gloria, part of his Missa Brevis, especially for the 2019 European Tour of his Vox Chamber Choir from Pretoria. In preparation for a performance by the choir in St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice only a maximum of eight minutes was allowed for the choral singing of the mass. Thus, Franco Prinsloo saw this as a challenge, the result being a beautiful little Missa Brevis that can be presented in church services as well as concerts. A fascinating composition that offers every dedicated choir an enhancement of the spiritual repertoire.
