Gloria, Old Hall 19 by John Tyes — 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, Old Hall 19
This Gloria is a setting of the first part of the Ordinary of the Mass, sung at the beginning of a service. It is scored for three voices, two alto and one tenor (AAT). The text is in Latin and expresses praise and adoration to God, acknowledging the glory of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Composed by John Tyes, this fragment originates from the Old Hall Manuscript, a significant source of English music from the late medieval period. Its intimate scoring makes it suitable for smaller ensembles or as a colourful addition to a larger liturgical performance.
