Whichever is the case, the Gaude gloriosa Dei Mater is conceived and composed on a grand scale, bringing to mind the earlier Antiphons and Votive masses of Browne, Fayrfax and Taverner. Performance time is approximately 18-20 minutes. It is scored for six-part choir with alternating solo sections employing a total of nine soloists (SSAATTBarBB). The SSAA gymels over a solo bass at the fifth verse are particularly effective.
