About GLORY BE TO GOD
"GLORY BE TO GOD" by C. D. Okorie is a vibrant, rhythmic setting of the Gloria, designed to lift the spirits of the congregation during the Introductory Rites. Marked "Lively" on the score, the piece opens with an infectious, repeating refrain that makes it easy for the assembly to join the choir in the angelic hymn of praise.
The composer structures the traditional English text of the Gloria into five distinct verses, moving smoothly from praising the Father to acknowledging the saving work of the Son. The call-and-response feel of the harmony parts in the refrain contrasts beautifully with the unified, steady progression of the verses, creating a joyful and engaging atmosphere in the church.
