Gloria! A Celebration of Life! by Joseph Knapicius — 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! A Celebration of Life!
This exultant setting of the Gloria text opens with immediate energy, the voices building in a rich, celebratory texture. Joseph Knapicius crafts a joyful and vibrant setting of the familiar Latin Mass Ordinary text, exploring its jubilant phrases with a dynamic interplay between the SSATB choir. The music mirrors the words’ sense of praise and adoration, from the initial pronouncements of glory to the majestic declarations of God’s unique holiness and power. It’s a powerful and uplifting piece for SATB choir, perfect for services or concerts seeking a resplendent musical expression of faith and thanksgiving.
