​Requiem Gloriosam was  the first performance of one of Cormac’s Classical Compositions  since coming to the United States. The inspiration was given by a concert of John Rutter’s Requiem which Cormac and Fiona experienced in New Jersey. The music was indeed beautiful and very melodic but Cormac however wished to create a more hopeful requiem with the accent being on the Beatific vision, and the Paradise that awaits the believer. Mixing together traditional Latin words of the Requiem Mass with Versions of English texts including the Prayer of Humble Access from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer the premiere was given on April 2nd 2012 at St Thomas the Apostle Church in Tennessee in the presence of Most Rev Bishop Stika of Knoxville, Cardinal Justin Rigali and Bishop  George Dibrell Young of the Knoxville Episcopal Church. The Requiem was performed by an ecumenical Choir, with members of Knoxville Symphony with soloists  Peggy Bastien, Jim Bonomo, Donna Curry, Audrey  Gibson and Madeline Gibson, Ted Jett, Nan Hebets, Ted Jett, Chuck O’Donnell, John Oyxedine, together with Cormac’s wife Fiona.  A recording of the work was created by Ben Mc Amis and was released subsequently.
