About This Song
About "Gloria, FP 177 : Poulenc: Gloria, FP 177: II. Laudamus te" by Boston Symphony Orchestra
The 'Laudamus te' turns tender and sly, Poulenc's harmonic wit softening into a lullaby. Ozawa draws a silken, hesitating line from the orchestra, the chorus murmuring praise as if sharing a secret. Calm surfaces, but unease ripples beneath—a prayer with a raised eyebrow.
