Gloria In Excelsis Deo CD

Angelus Press is proud to offer these outstanding works of Sacred Music, recorded by the German-speaking FSSPX Catholic Youth Movement’s Choir Week, and Chamber Choir.

Over the centuries, the mysteries of God becoming man and Christ's birth have inspired countless musicians to compose an abundance of works of all genres. This album by our Catholic Youth Movement singers presents a small excerpt from this inexhaustible wealth of music, from familiar Advent and Christmas hymns to several polyphonic compositions and organ works. The central piece of this colourful compilation is the festive Christmas cantata "Lobt Gott ihr Christen allzugleich" "Praise God you Christians, all together" by Georg Philipp Telemann.
