Gloria (unison) by Mark Chapman — 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 (unison)
The Gloria is a joyous hymn of praise from the Ordinary of the Mass, traditionally sung by Christians to celebrate the glory of God. This setting opens with the exultant declaration of glory to God in the highest, followed by the earthly peace promised to all humankind. The composer Mark Chapman sets this ancient Latin text for unison voices, giving a clear and direct voice to the liturgical words. The music moves through the praise, adoration, and glorification of God, invoking the Father Almighty and the unique Son, Jesus Christ. It concludes with the solemn invocation of the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world and the final acclamation of the Holy Trinity, ending with a resounding Amen.
