About Agnus Dei
The Agnus Dei is a profound plea for mercy and peace, a central movement of the Mass. Charles Gounod sets this ancient Latin text for two voices, Soprano and Tenor. The music expresses the solemn invocation of the Lamb of God, imploring divine compassion for the sins of the world, and concluding with a hopeful request for lasting peace. This setting offers a direct and affecting musical interpretation of the sacred words, suitable for liturgical or concert use.
