Instrumentation / Accompaniment

A SETTING OF THE WORDS "GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO" INTENDED FOR USE AS AN ACCLAMATION BEFORE AND AFTER THE GOSPEL ON CHRISTMAS DAY, FOR SATB CHOIR AND ORGAN WITH OPTIONAL BRASS QUARTET.

'Gloria In Excelsis Deo' is a short (under a minute), jubilant choral fanfare that derives its energy from a recurring dotted quarter-note, eighth-note, quarter-note motive. This is one of Paul Halley's earliest pieces, composed for St. Matthew's Anglican Church Choir, Ottawa, when Halley was sixteen.

    Gloria in excelsis Deo

    Glory to God in the highest.

    "Throughout the composition, Halley’s sense of drama and motion never falters; at one minute’s duration, it would serve as an enthusiastic and impressive opening in worship and concert settings."
