About GLORY BE TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST
"Glory Be to God in the Highest" is a vibrant, fast-paced setting of the angelic hymn, arranged by Olusi Felix. Marked *Presto*, the piece bursts with energy from the very first measure, making it a wonderful choice for festive Sunday Masses, Easter, and grand celebrations where the choir wants to lift the congregation's spirits.
What makes this arrangement special is how it weaves joyful "Halleluia" acclamations directly into the traditional text of the Gloria. After the opening proclamation of peace on earth, the choir moves into a lively chorus that dances through the praises—"We praise you, we bless you, we adore you"—before culminating in a rhythmic, cascading series of "Amens." It is a brilliant expression of thanksgiving that brings a distinctly celebratory feel to the choir loft.
