Glory To God

Uzoma Obumneke’s "Glory To God" is a vibrant and energetic setting of the Gloria, designed to bring a true sense of celebration to the Mass. Right from the opening measures, the choir bursts into a rhythmic call to worship, singing "Give Glory to the Lord, Give honor to the Lord," before transitioning into the familiar liturgical text. This lively introduction sets a joyful, uplifting tone that carries through the entire piece.

Written for a four-part choir, the arrangement keeps the momentum high with a brisk, vivace tempo. The verses flow naturally, sometimes letting the lower voices lead the way before the sopranos soar back in, as seen in the second verse's declaration of "Lord God Almighty King." It is a fantastic choice for festive Sundays, Easter, or any major solemnity where the choir loft wants to lead the congregation in an enthusiastic hymn of praise.
