Gloria 'n cielo e pace 'n terra by Anonymous — Lyrics
Glorïa 'n cielo e pace 'n terra
nat'è 'l nostro Salvatore.
Nat'è Cristo glorïoso
l'alto Dïo maravellioso
fact'è hom desideroso
lo benigno Creatore.
De la Vergene sovrana
lucente stella dïana
de li erranti tramontana
puer nato de la fiore.
Pace 'n terra sia cantata
gloria 'n ciel desiderata
la donçella consecrata

About Gloria 'n cielo e pace 'n terra
This Italian laude, anonymous and for unison voices, celebrates the Nativity with exultant joy. The text paints a vivid Christmas scene, proclaiming glory in heaven and peace on earth as the Saviour is born. It speaks of Christ's divine yet humble arrival, born of a sovereign virgin and likened to a shining star. The music reflects the text's devotional fervour, with a clear melodic line suitable for conveying the profound wonder of this sacred event. The simple, direct setting allows the message of hope and divine love to shine through, making it an accessible and moving piece for any Christmas occasion.
