Gloria by Tomaso Cecchino — 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, Iesu Christe.
Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris.

About Gloria
This setting of the Gloria by Tomaso Cecchino unfolds with a rich SATTB texture. The composer navigates the familiar Latin text with careful attention to its devotional message. From the opening proclamation of glory to God in the highest and peace on earth, the music emphasizes the grandeur of the subject matter. Cecchino’s writing moves through sections of praise and adoration, capturing the reverence inherent in lines such as Laudamus te and Adoramus te. The setting culminates with the affirmation of Christ’s divinity and the final Amen, reflecting the theological weight of this central part of the Mass.
