About this arrangement

String Trio Cello,Viola,Violin - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1327200 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Chamber,Christian,Christmas,Holiday,Traditional. 9 pages. Jmsgu3 #915260. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1327200). The Christmas carol "Angels We Have Heard on High" is sung to the hymn "Gloria," a traditional French carol. The phrase "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" is a memorable feature of the chorus, where the "o" of "Gloria" is fluidly sustained through 16 notes of a rising and falling melismatic. The carol commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ as narrated in the Gospel of Luke, specifically the scene outside Bethlehem where shepherds encounter many angels singing and praising the newborn child. The "Gloria" is believed to have inspired the chorus in "Angels We Have Heard on High," it is considered one of the earliest known Christmas hymns. The melody uses the effect of a refrain and is one of the few texts that congregations sing regularly in Latin: "Gloria in excelsis Deo!". The phrase "Gloria" has a rich history, with reports indicating that in 129 A.D., Pope Telesphorus ordained that the "Gloria" be sung at the Christmas Eve midnight mass. The melody has been popularized worldwide and has become a holiday standard.
