Programme Note

Transient Glory introduces newly commissioned choral music of the world’s major composers created to celebrate the profoundly transcendent nature of young singing voices. Launched in the year 2001, Transient Glory began as a concert performance series of the Young People’s Chorus of New York City (www.ypc.org) conducted by Francisco J. Núñez to advance the art of children’s choir in the world today. The Transient Glory choral series is designed and developed by its editor as a commitment to young voices singing glorious music during that short, transient period of childhood.
