Lana, I think this writer may be referring to the service
music Gloria by Rutter that's in the Episcopal Hymnal,
number S-236. It's a single line, with a descant on the
last verse. I suppose it could be done as a solo, but I
think it would needs an organ to get the full effect. I
never thought of it as something I'd ever want to sing as a
solo, however. It's designed so the congregation can sing
it, too.
