Ad coenam agni providi by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
1. Ad cenam Agni providi,
stolis salutis candidi,
post transitum maris Rubri
Christo canamus principi.
2. Cuius corpus sanctissimum
in ara crucis torridum,
sed et cruorem roseum
gustando, Deo vivimus.
3. Protecti paschae vespero
a devastante angelo,
de Pharaonis aspero
sumus erepti imperio.
4. Iam pascha nostrum Christus est,
agnus occisus innocens;
sinceritatis azyma
qui carnem suam obtulit.

About Ad coenam agni providi
Orlando di Lasso's setting of the Latin hymn Ad coenam agni providi is scored for SATB choir. This sacred work draws on the rich tradition of Paschal hymns, celebrating Christ's resurrection. The text, beginning with imagery of the Passover lamb and the crossing of the Red Sea, moves through the sacrifice of Christ and His triumph over death. The choir voices the liberation from bondage and the joy of new life granted through Christ's victory. The music aims to reflect the profound theological themes of redemption and eternal life articulated in the ancient Latin verses, creating a powerful choral statement.
