Summary:  For a prime ideal 𝔭 in a totally real number field L with the adele ring 𝔸, we study the distribution of angles θ{π}(𝔭) coming from Satake parameters corresponding to unramified π{𝔭} where π{𝔭} comes from a global π ranging over a certain finite set Π{k}(𝔫) of cuspidal automorphic representations of GL{2}(𝔸) with trivial central character. For such a representation π, it is known that the angles θ{π}(𝔭) follow the Sato-Tate distribution. Fixing an interval I ⊆ [0,{π}], we prove a central limit theorem for the number of angles θ{π}(𝔭) that lie in I, as N(𝔭) → ∞. The result assumes 𝔫 to be a squarefree integral ideal, and that the components in the weight vector k grow suitably fast as a function of x.
