About Alleluja, vox laeta personat
Orlando di Lasso's bright and jubilant motet Alleluja, vox laeta personat is written for double choir (SATTB + SATTB). The Latin text speaks of a joyful voice proclaiming miracles and giving thanks to God. The joyous mood continues as crowds of rich and poor alike, and all Christians on earth, sing praises to the only Son of God. Lasso's masterful writing for double choir creates a rich and resonant sound, with intricate interplay between the two vocal ensembles that builds to moments of overwhelming exultation. This motet is a powerful and uplifting expression of divine praise, perfect for a cappella performance.
