Gloria, Old Hall 21 by Leonel Power — 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 21
This Gloria is a significant setting of the Mass Ordinary by the English composer Leonel Power, a leading figure of the late medieval period. Belonging to the Old Hall Manuscript, a crucial collection of English music from around 1400, it showcases the rich polyphonic tradition of its time. The composer skilfully sets the Latin text, with its exultant praise of God and invocation of Christ. Power's setting is written for a large choir, specified as TTTBB and ATTBB, allowing for a broad and varied sonic palette. This is a substantial and impressive work from a pivotal era in Western music.
