Gloria (tr88)

This setting of the Gloria, sung by a tenor-bass choir, opens with the jubilant proclamation of God's glory in heaven and peace on earth. The text continues with the Church's praise and adoration of Christ, acknowledging him as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The composer, anonymous, uses the Latin liturgical text to build a musical expression of profound reverence. The setting moves through sections of praise and supplication, reflecting the structure of the traditional Mass Ordinary text. It culminates in a powerful affirmation of the Trinity and Christ's unique divinity.
