Glory be to the Father... Trinitarian Gloria

Emma Urom Eze’s "Trinitarian Gloria" brings a bright, majestic feel to the standard Mass text. What makes this setting stand out is its unique refrain. Instead of returning to the usual "Glory to God in the highest," the choir and congregation sing a bold, rhythmic doxology: "Glory be to the Father, Glory be to the Son, Glory be to the Spirit three in one for ever." This makes it an especially fitting choice for Trinity Sunday, though its joyful energy works well for any festive Mass.

The verses follow the traditional English translation of the Gloria, divided into six clear sections. The melody is straightforward and dignified, allowing the choir to proclaim the text clearly while maintaining a steady, reverent pace. It is the kind of piece that grounds the congregation in the mystery of the Trinity right at the start of the liturgy.
