Ad Sanctam Cæciliam in C minor, Op. 10, No. 1 by Giorgio Pacchioni — Lyrics
Cecilia virgo, tuas laudes universa concinit musicorum turba,
ut tuis meritis supplices a Deo exaudiri possint.
Iuncta voce et uno corde tuum nomen invocant,
ut luctum mundi in paradisi gloriam mutare digneris;

About Ad Sanctam Cæciliam in C minor, Op. 10, No. 1
Giorgio Pacchioni’s motet Ad Sanctam Cæciliam is a setting for SATB choir of a Latin text praising Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians. The text invokes her intercession, asking that the gathered musicians might be heard by God through her merits, and that she might transform worldly sorrow into heavenly glory. The music is likely suited for liturgical occasions when a choir might honor its patron saint, or for moments within a service that call for reflection and prayer. Pacchioni’s C minor setting offers a rich opportunity for expressive choral singing, particularly in its plea for the saint’s protection and intercession on behalf of those who call upon her.
