You can't really quote it as "Glo-o-o-o-ria" or "Glo-glo-glo-glo-gloria", because if you really wrote it out fully, it would be

Glo-o-o-o-o-Glo-o-o-o-o-Glo-o-o-o-o-Glo-o-o-o-o-Gloria in Excelsis Deo!

As any who have heard or sung the song will recall, this is not accurate; the "Gl-" is not repeated at any point, it is merely a melismatic tumult on the vowel "o". Abrazame 21:31, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

• You're gloriously right. Feel free to fix it. *<:) Wahkeenah 22:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC) Oops you're way ahead of me. Glory be. :) Wahkeenah 22:11, 2 May 2006 (UTC) You can blame User:The Anome, on December 3rd. Shame on him for entering it that way. Shame on the rest of us for not seeing it sooner. D'oh!

This tune we are calling "Gloria", is it the same as the traditional French tune "Les anges dans nos campagnes"? This is the tune to which I've always known it sung, and to which "Angels from the Realms of Glory" is also generally sung. Skittle 22:47, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Is it the actual same tune, though? 'Angels We Have Heard On High' and 'Angels From The Realms of Glory' have very similar tunes, and I would imagine that one is based on the other, but I don't think they're exactly the same, are they? Brickie (talk) 15:05, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
