Description: A setting of the Gloria from the Mass Ordinary. Two versions of the piece arise from verbal rubrics. A five-part version arises when the highest and lowest voices sing in canon at the unison at a distance of five breves, and the 'solus Tenor' part is left out. A four-part version arises when the upper voices sing in canon in the same way and the 'solus Tenor' part is sung in place of the canonic Tenor part on the first folio.
