The Latin text used in this piece has been used in a wide variety of melodies as early as the second century. Taken from a hymn, it begins with the words the angels proclaimed when the shepherds heard of the birth of Christ. Canons are great for teaching part singing, and the canon in Gloria is based on the descending major scale, which can be hard to tune, especially for younger singers. Before the canon occurs each time, the melody is presented in unison, giving singers a chance to center themselves and lock into the tuning. Be intentional to give emphasis to the big beats in 6/8 (compound) meter, not the pulses, as this will provide more lilt and direction to the musical phrase. Dynamics play an important part in this piece, so it is important to really lean into them, especially the surprise at the end. Translation: Gloria in excelsis Deo Glory to God in the highest Glorificamus te We glorify you Adoramus te We adore you.
