Adiuro vos, filiae Ierusalem,
si inveneritis dilectum meum,
ut annuntietis ei, quia amore langueo.

About Adiuro vos, filiae Ierusalem
The SACRED MOTET Adiuro vos, filiae Ierusalem, by Jan Tollius, sets a passage from the Song of Songs. The text implores the daughters of Jerusalem to tell the beloved that the singer is languishing with love, before proclaiming that Jerusalem should arise and see the joy that comes from God. This devotional text is set for SAATB voices. Tollius’s music reflects the contrasting moods of the text, from the yearning plea to the exultant prophecy. The rich five-part texture allows for expressive harmonic writing and sonorous choral sound, making it a powerful addition to services or concerts.
