Dialogo - Gloria in altissimis by Chiara Margarita Cozzolani — Lyrics
Gloria in altissimis Deo,
et in terra pax
hominibus bonæ voluntatis.
Agite pastores expergiscimini
accurrite, videte, adorate.
Quae nova lux?
quis nuncius alacer?
Ecce vobis gaudium magnum,
ecce cælo labitur Deus nascitur Deus,
ecce splendor Patris,
ecce candor lucis æternæ
terras irradiat homines visitat.

About Dialogo - Gloria in altissimis
Chiara Margarita Cozzolani’s Dialogo – Gloria in altissimis opens with the familiar words of the Gloria, quickly followed by a more dramatic and jubilant calling to the shepherds. The text urges them to awaken and hasten to see and adore the newborn Christ. The composer vividly portrays this scene in her SSAT setting, creating a vibrant dialogue that moves from wonder at the heavenly light and the birth of God to a radiant proclamation of joy. The Latin text rejoices in the mystery of the Incarnation, calling for celestial citizens to celebrate this miracle and the peace it brings. Cozzolani’s music imbues this sacred motet with a spirited energy, fitting for the extraordinary news it proclaims.
