The Latin text of the Gloria is a magnificent hymn of praise which dates from the earliest centuries of the church. French composer Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) has set these words to music in a rich, incandescent manner which seems to portray a cosmic dance before the throne of heaven itself. These two excerpts from the complete piano/vocal score mark the first time separate octavos from the Gloria have been made available. Translations for study are included.

Through easy-to-prepare and -present songs and rhyming dialog, the Christmas story is told in a fresh and creative way. The musical is offered in a reproducible format, making it a real budget-stretcher.
