For Francis Poulenc’s Gloria, the most directly relevant choices here are the SATB score for choral singing and the 86-page study score for following or studying the work. The other three listings are Poulenc collections, but their titles describe piano or vocal music rather than Gloria. Use the comparison below to distinguish scores of the work from related repertoire.

Gloria: SATB
This listing is titled Gloria: SATB and names Francis Poulenc as composer. Its SATB designation makes it the clearest choice in this list for buyers looking for a choral score of Gloria. It is best for singers or choir members who need a score identified for soprano, alto, tenor, and bass parts.
Choose this listing when the intended use is singing the choral work, rather than consulting a general study score. The supplied product information does not specify page count, accompaniment, edition details, or whether the listing includes separate vocal parts. Check the product listing before ordering if those details matter to your rehearsal or performance.
Gloria (Cantata) Study Score
Published by Editions Salabert, this 86-page study score is identified as a score for Francis Poulenc’s Gloria. It is best for readers who want a score for studying or following the work, rather than a product specifically labeled as an SATB choir edition. Its stated page count and study-score format make the listing’s purpose clearer than the other Poulenc collections here.
Choose this if you want a dedicated Gloria score for reference or musical study. The supplied details do not state the exact instrumentation, print size, or whether it is intended for performance use. If you need a choir-ready format, compare it with the SATB listing before buying.
Francis Poulenc Works For Piano
This paperback collection is described as a piano solo book with 58 Poulenc compositions in original editions, for intermediate and advanced pianists. It is best for piano players looking for a broad selection of Poulenc’s solo works. It is not identified as a score of Gloria, so it should not be treated as a substitute for either dedicated Gloria listing above.
Choose this collection if your goal is to explore Poulenc’s piano repertoire alongside the search for his choral work. The product description does not name the individual compositions included, so verify the contents if you need a particular piano piece. Avoid choosing it when you specifically need the SATB or cantata score for Gloria.
Francis Poulenc: 50 Melodies
50 Melodies is described as a French vocal collection for high voice and piano, with English translations, art songs, and piano accompaniment. It is best for singers seeking Poulenc song repertoire with a piano partner, not for choirs seeking Gloria. The listing’s stated focus is melodies and songs, and it does not identify the cantata as included.
Choose this book if you want vocal music for a high voice and value the stated English translations. The product information does not give a detailed contents list or specify the vocal range beyond “high voice.” Check those details if you need a particular song or a different voice range.
Three Novelettes For Piano
This paperback contains Poulenc’s three piano novelettes and is described as intermediate twentieth-century classical piano repertoire for study and performance. It is best for pianists who want a focused Poulenc piano collection. It is related to the composer but is not identified as Gloria sheet music or a choral score.
Choose this if your interest includes learning or performing Poulenc’s piano music. The supplied details do not state the edition’s page count or provide a contents breakdown beyond the three novelettes. If your main requirement is Poulenc’s Gloria, select one of the two products explicitly titled for that work instead.
Buying Guide
Which score should I choose for a choir?
Start with Gloria: SATB because the title identifies the choral voice configuration. Confirm the listing’s part format and contents if your choir needs separate parts or a particular rehearsal setup; those details are not provided in the product information.
When is a study score the better choice?
Choose the Editions Salabert study score if you need a dedicated 86-page score for studying or following the cantata. The listing calls it a study score, so do not assume it has the same layout or purpose as a choir-focused SATB edition.
How can I avoid buying unrelated sheet music?
Check the title and format before ordering. The piano collections and 50 Melodies are Poulenc repertoire, but their supplied descriptions do not identify them as Gloria scores. For this specific work, prioritize listings that name Gloria.
Should I choose a collection or an individual score?
A collection is useful when you want multiple works by Poulenc in one book. An individual Gloria listing is the more direct match when you need that particular cantata. Match the format to your role: choir singer, score reader, pianist, or vocal soloist.
