Angeli archangeli

Heinrich Isaac’s Angeli archangeli is a resplendent sacred motet for double choir (SATTBB). The text enumerates the celestial choirs and holy figures of the Christian tradition, calling upon them to intercede for us. It moves from the ranks of angels and archangels, through patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs, to confessors and virgins, creating a vast invocation of heavenly patronage. This magnificent setting, with its rich six-part texture, offers a powerful and sonorous expression of faith, weaving together a profound theological statement with soaring musical lines. It is a profound work, suitable for occasions demanding a grand and devotional sound.
