Gloria in excelsis by Alexander Arkhangelsky — 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 in excelsis
This setting of the Gloria in excelsis text, a jubilant declaration of praise, is for SATB choir. The traditional Latin words are paired with an English translation, offering flexibility for performance. The composer Arkhangelsky crafts a powerful musical response to the sacred text, beginning with the heavenly proclamation and moving through expressions of adoration and supplication. The setting culminates in the profound affirmation of the Trinity and God's glory, providing a meaningful and stirring musical experience for both choir and congregation.
