About Glory to God in the highest
Ernest Markham Lee’s setting of Glory to God in the highest is a vibrant anthem for SATB choir. Sung in English, the text draws from the familiar biblical account of Christ’s birth. Lee’s music aims to capture the profound joy and exultation of the Nativity, with the choir proclaiming the heavenly peace and goodwill that announce the arrival of the Saviour. The piece builds dynamically, reflecting the growing sense of wonder and the ultimate call to rejoice in the birth of the Lord.
