Angelis suis

This SATB setting of Angelis suis by Domenico Quilici is drawn from the Mass propers, specifically responding to the responsorial psalm tradition. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 90, offers a profound message of divine protection. It speaks of angels being commanded by God to guard the faithful in all their ways, bearing them up in their hands lest they strike their foot against a stone. This sacred motet is ideally suited for liturgical occasions where a message of comfort and divine assurance is particularly welcome. Its devotional nature and clear textual expression make it a thoughtful choice for cathedral choirs or for services focusing on themes of guidance and safeguarding. The rich texture of the SATB voicing allows for a full and resonant delivery of these comforting words.
