The Chancel Choir presented Vivaldi's Gloria on Palm Sunday, March 28, 2010 at the 10:00 am service.  The work was accompanied by a small instrumental ensemble and featured soloists Jana Cook, Jennifer Andrews, Whitney Glorioso, Linda Hartzfeld and Amy Glorioso.

The Gloria is Vivaldi's most popular vocal piece.  After the composer's death in 1741, the original manuscript lay forgotten on a shelf somewhere in Venice for nearly 200 years.  The, in 1939, it received its first modern performance and has enjoyed repeated hearings ever since.

Also on the program for Palm Sunday was Handel's Concerto for Organ accompanied by strings, woodwinds and harpsichord.  This work featured our organist Wayne Fisher.
