"...and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
"And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.'" And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, " Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
@Fireball1787 Yes, it's available on CD at amazon. Just go to the amazon site, search music for "praetorius, mass" and it will come right up. I'm on my second CD of it.:)
I sooo love the entire CD from which this work was taken. I only wish that it had been recorded binaurally so that one could bask in the spatial geography of this kind of early music. *sigh*
@lichtbroeder The lyrics originate from Heinrich Seuse, a monk and mystic from the 14th century. The story goes that he heard the lyrics sung by angels in a vision.
@lichtbroeder The melody dates back to the 14th. centurym and it's original composer is unknown as fas as I know. It became quite popular from the 15th. or 16th. century on, therefore many componists included it in their works.
I'm confused. This has been attributed to Praetorius, Scheidt, abd others. Do we know who actually composed it? Is what we're hearing now an arrangement of it, it having been composed by another?
@trevor462 Absolutely!!! Glory to God in the HIGHEST!!! We are redeemed!!! Praise God!!! :-)
