Glory to God in the Highest by Donna DiBella — 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 Glory to God in the Highest
This setting of the Gloria is suitable for any liturgical occasion, particularly for services during the Christmas season or Easter. Donna DiBella has crafted a unison setting that is accessible for choirs of all sizes and abilities. The text, in Latin with an English translation provided, is the traditional Gloria in excelsis Deo, a hymn of praise and adoration to God the Father and God the Son, Jesus Christ. The music mirrors the exultant and reverent nature of the words, offering a clear and direct musical expression of the theological sentiments contained within this ancient liturgical text. Its straightforward structure makes it an ideal choice for a choir seeking to introduce or reinforce this important part of the Mass.
