==General Information==
'''Gloria in excelsis''' is the second item of the [[Mass|Ordinary of the Mass]], immediately following the acclamations [[Kyrie|Kyrie eleison]] at the beginning of Mass. It is also referred to as the "Angelic Hymn", the '''Greater (major) Doxology''' (to distinguish it from the lesser or minor doxology ''[[Gloria Patri]]'') or '''Et in terra pax''', the words following the priest's solo intonation ("Gloria…" is repeated by the choir in numerous settings).

Composed on the model of the Psalms, its authorship is unknown, though it obviously takes as a point of departure the salutation of the angels at St Luke 2:14. By the 4th century the Greek original was being used at morning prayer; in the west it is sung at Mass on Sundays (except during Advent and Lent) and on certain feasts.

In Anglican usage, the Gloria appears in the usual place in the 1549 ''Book of Common Prayer'', after which it was moved to the end of the {{CC|Communion Services|Communion Service}} until the liturgical reforms of the mid-twentieth century. The scores of Masses by English composers often follow this arrangement.
