About Agnus Dei
This setting of the Agnus Dei, a profound plea for mercy and peace, is by Francisco Valls. Scored for a rich SSATBB choir, it is written in Latin, the traditional language of the Roman Catholic Mass. The text, 'Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; grant us peace,' is repeated, allowing the composer to explore its devotional weight. This sacred work likely served a liturgical purpose, its intricate vocal writing suited to a disciplined choral ensemble.
