Cum Sancto Spiritu by Francisco Valls — 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 Cum Sancto Spiritu
This substantial setting of the Gloria from the Mass Ordinary would be appropriate for a festive occasion within the church's calendar. The Latin text, with its exultant praise of God, is set by Francisco Valls for a large choir, SATB with additional SSAATT parts. This rich scoring allows for a wide range of colour and dynamic contrast, from moments of profound devotion to passages of triumphant declaration. The composer's setting captures the escalating glory described in the text, building towards the final affirmation of Christ with the Holy Spirit in the glory of God the Father.
