Angeli archangeli by Eliseo Ghibel — Lyrics
Angeli, archangeli, throni et dominationes,
principatus et potestates
virtutes coelorum, Cherubim atque Seraphim,
patriarchae et prophetae, sancti legis doctores,
apostoli, omnes Christi martyres,
sancti confessores, virgines Domini, anachoritae,
intercedite pro nobis.

About Angeli archangeli
Eliseo Ghibel's Angeli archangeli is a sacred motet for male voices (ATTBB). The Latin text is a powerful invocation of the heavenly host, calling upon angels, archangels, thrones, dominations, principalities, powers, virtues, cherubim, seraphim, patriarchs, prophets, doctors of the law, apostles, martyrs, confessors, virgins, and hermits to intercede. The music sets this litany of celestial beings with fervent devotion. The text proceeds to praise the choirs of apostles, prophets, and martyrs, culminating in a unified confession of the Blessed Trinity by all saints. This motet offers a rich texture for a male choir, exploring the profound spiritual themes of angelic intercession and divine praise.
