Gloria in excelsis in F by John Stainer — 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 in F
John Stainer's Gloria in excelsis in F is a sacred setting of the traditional Latin Mass Ordinary text. This substantial work is for SATB choir and organ, suitable for the Communion rite. The composer's setting of the familiar words, 'Glory to God in the highest', and 'peace to his people on earth', reflects the grandeur and solemnity of the text. The music moves through the praise and adoration of the Trinity, from the opening exultation to the concluding 'Amen'. This setting offers a powerful and devotional musical expression for congregational services.
