Angels We Have Heard on High - DUET

This has always been one of my favorite Christmas carols! Who doesn't love to sing Gloria! in cascading scales?

This duet version has some different rhythms which make this old carol fresh and fun to sing. It can be sung in treble or bass ranges. My women's choir enjoyed it, as did my sons, in the recording here.

2025 - an updated Choral version (for 2-part choir) makes this accessible for middle ranges in a choral setting.

Voicing: SA/TB or 2-part choir

Accompaniment: Piano

Topics: Christmas

French Carol, arranged by Rachel P. Mohlman

LYRICS

Angels we have heard on high,

Sweetly singing o'er the plains.

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains.

Gloria in excelsis deo!

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the tidings be

Which inspire your heav'nly song?

Gloria in excelsis deo!

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord, the newborn King!

Gloria in excelsis deo!

In excelsis deo!

Gloria!
