Angelus ad pastores ait a 6 by Nicolaus Zangius — Lyrics
About Angelus ad pastores ait a 6
The angel announces to the shepherds a great joy: today the world's Saviour is born for you. This radiant motet for six voices, SSATTB, sets the Latin text from the Gospel of Luke, opening with the announcement of the Incarnation. The joyful Alleluia is interspersed with further celebration of the newborn child, called Mighty God. Nicolaus Zangius's setting captures the wonder and exultation of this sacred moment.
