I have 2 tatty photocopy pages of a Gloria (in Excelsis Deo). The score is written in Bflat for SATB and Orgue. The first page is - Allegro brillante; second page is - Poco meno mosso. Is anyone aware of this Gloria and who its composer might be, please? Or where might I find the answer, please?

A couple of search engines exist, where you can enter a sequence of notes and they look for matches inside large music repositories (including CPDL): one is Peachnote, and the other is Kooplet. Maybe other similar search engines exist, which are not known to me. You may try using them.

The piece is unidentifiable (to me). However my observation is that it must have been written for a professional choir. An amateur choir would run out of steam unprompted.
