Agenda defunctorum - Ad Laudes by Juan Vasquez — Lyrics
Benedíctus [Dóminus,] Deus Israël,
quia visitávit, et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ:
Et eréxit cornu salútis nobis
in domo David, púeri sui.
Sicut locútus est per os sanctórum,
qui a sǽculo sunt, prophetárum ejus:
Salútem ex inimícis nostris,
et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos.
Ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris:
et memorári testaménti sui sancti.
Jusjurándum, quod jurávit ad Abraham patrem nostrum,
datúrum se nobis:

About Agenda defunctorum - Ad Laudes
This setting of Latin text, intended for SATB choir, is a sacred motet by Juan Vasquez. The words come from the Magnificat, a canticle from the Gospel of Luke. They speak of God's promised salvation and mercy, recalling His covenant with Abraham and the prophecy of a forerunner preparing the way for the Lord. Vasquez's music would have supported the devotional practice of the church, offering a rich and resonant expression of these ancient biblical verses.
