Gloria-Ave Regina coelorum by Anonymous — 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 Gloria-Ave Regina coelorum
This setting of the Gloria is followed by the Ave Regina caelorum, a popular Marian antiphon. The text of the Gloria is a jubilant declaration of praise to God, detailing our adoration, blessings, and gratitude for His great glory. It moves from general praise to a focus on Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, and concludes with a Trinitarian affirmation. The composer is anonymous, and the setting is for three voices (ATT). The Latin text makes it suitable for services where this language is traditional, and its devotional content resonates deeply within the sacred choral repertoire.
