Agimus tibi gratias a 4

A staple of Renaissance part-music, Orlando di Lasso's Agimus tibi gratias is a short, four-part motet for female voices (SSSA). Its Latin text, taken from a common table grace, expresses profound gratitude to God for all his benefits. The composer’s mastery of vocal counterpoint is evident, crafting a rich texture that nonetheless allows the thankful words to shine through. The piece offers a welcome opportunity for singers to engage with polyphonic writing in a brief, accessible format, perfect for services or concerts at any time of year. Its concise nature makes it ideal for focused study and performance, a gem from Lasso's prolific output.
