About Adoramus te, Christe a 4
Orlando di Lasso's Adoramus te, Christe sets a short Latin text that contemplates the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. The choir is divided into two groups, SATB and TTBB, which may be used simultaneously or antiphonally. The composer's setting highlights the devotion expressed in the words, 'We adore you, Christ, and we bless you: for by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.' This sacred motet is suited for a choir seeking a concise yet powerful expression of faith, offering opportunities for varied vocal textures and dynamic contrast.
