Gloria in excelsis Deo 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, Iesu Christe.
Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris.

About Gloria in excelsis Deo
This setting of the Gloria in excelsis Deo is by an anonymous composer. The text is the traditional Latin Mass Ordinary, sung in celebration of God's glory and the coming of peace. The composer's aim was to reflect the grandeur of the words, setting them with a rich, resonant sound. Scored for double SATB choir, this work offers a powerful and moving interpretation of the familiar text. The divisi writing in the upper voices allows for particularly lush harmonies, creating an awe-inspiring atmosphere appropriate for the solemnity of the Mass. This piece would provide a significant and rewarding challenge for an experienced choir.
