Adesto unus Deus by Gregor Aichinger — Lyrics
Adesto unus Deus: omnipotens Pater, Filius et Spiritus Sanctus.
Te unum in substantia, trinitatem in personis confitemur,
Te semper idem esse, vivere et intelligere profitemur,
Te invocamus,

About Adesto unus Deus
This Latin motet is a fervent invocation of the One God, in Trinity. The text proclaims belief in the one substance of God, yet three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It affirms God's eternal being and understanding, leading into a powerful triple cry of invocation, praise, and adoration directed towards the blessed Trinity. Gregor Aichinger’s setting for SSATTTB is a substantial work, reflecting the profound theological statements of the text through rich, polychoral textures. The composer’s mastery of contrapuntal writing and harmonic colour is evident as he builds the musical argument, creating a compelling sonic image of divine unity and majesty. This motet offers significant musical substance for a large choir.
