Et in terra pax (D-Ju MS 33) (Anonymous) by Anonymous — Lyrics
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.
Laudamus te. Benedicimus te.
Adoramus te. Glorificamus te.
Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam.
Domine Deus, Rex caelestis, Deus Pater omnipotens.
Domine Fili unigenite Jesu Christe.
Spiritus et alme orphanorum paraclite.
Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris,
primogenitus Mariae Virginis Matris.
Qui tollis peccata mundi,

About Et in terra pax (D-Ju MS 33) (Anonymous)
This setting of the Gloria text from the Mass opens with a prayer for peace on earth, a familiar invocation sung by the choir in four parts (STTB). The composer, whose identity is unknown, moves through the traditional acclamations: "Laudamus te", "Benedicimus te", "Adoramus te", "Glorificamus te", and "Gratias agimus tibi". The music then unfolds the invocation to Christ as King of Heaven, before turning to the Holy Spirit and then the central themes of the Agnus Dei, praying for mercy and acceptance of our supplications. The text specifically invokes Mary's glory and her role in God's plan.
