"Composer: most probably Manuel Gaytán y Arteaga, chapel master of the Metropolitan Church of Cordova around 1760. Manuscripts found in the Archives of the Archbishopric of Lima. According to the original document specifications, the "Estrivo Allegro" is repeated after each couplet. (Measures 47-66). Because of text reasons, it is suggested to begin the repetitions with measure 39 (Gloria in excelsis Deo)"

¶Lyrics / Text

Spanish|Latin| Sacros celestes coros dulces cantores diestros que con respeto y pasmo a vuestro Rey eterno mirais desnudo y pobre temblando al crudo cierzo, cantad en sus ala banzas con trinos y gorjeos porque ha nacido humano. ''Gloria in excelsis Deo'' ''et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.'' Sigan cantando hoy los zagales, puesto que viene Dios tierno infante, dando humilde prendas bastantes, de que ya el cielo firma las paces, por medio suyo, con los mortales. Alaben todas las gentes al divino verbo en carne. ''Laudamus te'' le repitan por sus obras admirables.
