*musical drool*

Last night on Adventures In Good Music (radio program hosted by the late Karl Haas) I heard snippets of Francis Poulenc's Mass in G Major, which he dedicated to his father. The Mass is a capella. And I really like Poulenc's sonorities. I think I need to acquire this little sonic morsel. Mmmmmmm....

Part of why this strikes me so is that after a couple of small-ish composition, arranging, and transcription projects, I would really like to write the Candlelight anthem for my church, possibly for 2006. This may wind up being a Gloria (like Vivaldi's and Rutter's), but I'm not sure yet. I'll need to do much listening, research, and soul-search. It'll be my biggest work to date, and I'm gonna do it right.
