3 Motteten a 5 by Annibale Orgas — Lyrics
Mi dilecte revertere,
Consors paternæ dexteræ,
Hostem vicisti prospere
Iam cæli regno fruere.
Sequarte quoquo ieris,
mihi tolli non poteris.
quam meum cor abstuleris
Iesu laus nostri generis.
2. Tu mentis delectatio,
amoris consumatio,

About 3 Motteten a 5
Annibale Orgas's 3 Motteten a 5 offer a rich contrapuntal texture for two distinct five-part choirs: SSATB and SATTB. The Latin texts explore themes of divine love and salvation. The first motet, addressing Christ as 'my beloved', speaks of victory over the enemy and eternal reward, proclaiming that the singer's heart belongs to Jesus. The second continues this devotional sentiment, with Jesus as the delight of the mind and the world's salvation. The final motet is a direct adoration of the Cross and a plea for mercy. This music, written for sacred occasions, would provide a powerful and reflective experience for both choir and listeners.
