  Gloria in Excelsis Deo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Gloria in Excelsis Deo" (Latin for "Glory to God on high") is the title and beginning of the great doxology (song of praise) used in the Roman Catholic Mass and, in translation, in the services of many other Christian churches.
Musical settings of the Gloria frequently call for a cantor/celebrant to intone the first line "Gloria in excelsis Deo" a cappella, followed by the entrance of the rest of the ensemble for "et in terra pax hominibus", etc., as is the practice at High Mass celebrated in the pre-Vatican II form.
The Gloria and the Te Deum are the only remains of the psalmi idiotici (psalms composed by private persons instead of being taken from the Biblical Psalter) that were popular in the second and third centuries.

'''Gloria in Excelsis''' Deo (Latin for "Glory to God in the highest") is the title and beginning of the great doxology (song of praise) used in the Roman Catholic Mass and, in translation, in the services of many other Christian churches.
The Gloria is a hymn of praise addressed to each Person of the Holy Trinity in turn, although the clause about the Holy Ghost is very short (cum sancto Spiritu) and is evidently an afterthought.
Gloria in excelsis deo, Glory to God in the highest, et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis and on earth peace to people of good will.
