Original

both the Gloria and Credo are "compressed" or "telescoped" settings of the mass text. the recitation of the ordinary is accelerated by having the various sections of the choir sing different words at the same time. As a result, the elongated setting of the Gloria by the composer's brother is an often preferred alternative, if the ecclesiastical propriety of hearing the text one word at a time is to be observed.
