My initial intention for the gloria was to set it in two-movements.  Each movement sets the text all the way through, but the first movement is set in a way appropriate for use in the Mass and the second is set appropriate for a concert mass.  The first movement has a special ending to segway into the second.  Having the option of using only the first movement or performing both meant that the piece would be adaptable for liturgical or concert setting.  Here’s a conceptional demonstration of what the gloria would sound like if both movements were performed.
