Gloria In Excelsis Deo
11/21/2023 | NewsWe will be using a new setting of the Gloria for all Feasts, Solemnities, and joyful liturgical seasons beginning on the Solemnity of Christ the King.
Adapted by Nigerian composer Sir Jude Nnam, "Gloria In Excelsis Deo" pairs the full Latin text of the ancient prayer with an African musical style and is one of Fr. Robert's favorite compositions.
This lyric video is a performance version of the piece and is much longer than the arrangement we will use at Mass. However, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the melody and words so that we can pray it together as a community.
