About Agnus Dei
Thomas Morley's Agnus Dei is a sacred motet for mixed choir, set for SATB and ATTB voices. The Latin text, a profound plea for mercy and peace, is the traditional Agnus Dei from the Mass Ordinary. Morley's setting uses the rich textures of both SATB and ATTB voicings, offering a substantial and moving interpretation of this significant liturgical text. His skillful handling of the polyphony allows the fervent supplication of the words to shine through, making it a fitting choice for services or concerts seeking contemplative and devotional music from the Renaissance period.
