Gloria from Western Wynde Mass

This is an abridged transcription of the Gloria from John Taverner's 1530 mass, "Western Wynde (Wind)," for flexible brass quartet. Parts are provided for two trumpets (the second is a duplicate of the F horn), F horn, two trombones, optional tuba, and full score. The music, nearly six minutes in length, is supplied with suggestions for reducing the measure count and cutting that performance time to as little as 2:47.
