Gloria by Johannes Brassart — 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
Composed as part of a larger Mass setting, this Gloria by Johannes Brassart is a substantial work for SAT voices. The Latin text, a standard part of the Roman Catholic liturgy, expresses profound adoration and praise to God. Brassart’s setting unfolds with musical lines that reflect the solemnity and majesty of the divine words. The music moves through sections of jubilant praise and humble supplication, mirroring the liturgical function of the Gloria as a joyful acclamation of faith. This setting offers choirs an opportunity to engage with a significant Renaissance sacred work, exploring its rich harmonic language and contrapuntal textures in a traditional liturgical context.
