Gloria Pueri by David Leroy McIntyre III — 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 Pueri
David Leroy McIntyre III's Gloria Pueri sets a fragment of the Ordinary of the Mass for two sopranos. The Latin text is sung with devotional fervour, opening with the jubilant proclamation of the heavenly host. The music reflects the text's varied moods, from the exultant praise and adoration to the plea for mercy. The composer's setting provides a devotional focus for young voices, exploring the interplay between the two soprano lines. The text moves from universal praise to a more personal supplication, culminating in a powerful affirmation of Christ's unique divinity and the ultimate glory of God the Father.
