Agenda Defunctorum - Ad Matutinum - In I Nocturno by Juan Vasquez — Lyrics
Invitatorum
Regem, cui omnia vivunt, Venite adoremus.
Venite exultemus Domino, iubilemus Deo salutari nostro:
praeoccupemus faciem eius in confessione:
et in psalmis iubilemus ei.
Regem, cui omnia vivunt, Venite adoremus.
Quoniam Deus magnus Dominus, et Rex magnus super omnes deos:
quoniam non repellet Dominus plebem suam, quia in manu eius sunt omnes fines terrae:
et altitudines montium ipse conspicit.
Venite adoremus.
Quoniam ipsius est mare, et ipse fecit illud:
et aridam fundaverunt manus eius: venite adoremus, et procidamus ante Deum:
ploremus coram Domino, qui fecit nos:
quia ipse est Dominus Deus noster:nos autem populus eius, et oves pascuae eius.
Regem, cui omnia vivunt, Venite adoremus.
Hodie si vocem eius audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra, sicut in exacerbatione secundum diem tentationis in deserto:
ubi tentaverunt me patres vestri: probaverunt, et viderunt opera mea.
Venite adoremus.
Quadraginta annis proximus fui generationi huic:
et dixi, semper hi errant corde:
ipsi vero non cognoverunt vias meas: quibus iuravi in ira mea, si introibunt in requiem meam.
Regem, cui omnia vivunt, Venite Adoremus.
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine:
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

About Agenda Defunctorum - Ad Matutinum - In I Nocturno
This powerful SATB setting of Latin liturgical text from the Office of the Dead opens with an invitation to adore the King of all life. The music draws the listener into a profound reflection on God's greatness as Lord and King, highlighting His dominion over all creation and His steadfast care for His people, the sheep of His pasture. Vasquez’s motet, suitable for liturgical use or concert performance, masterfully conveys the solemnity and deep faith inherent in these ancient words. The music unfolds with a gravitas that underscores the theological weight of the text, inviting introspection and awe.
