About Angelus Domini ad pastores ait
Jean de Castro's Angelus Domini ad pastores ait is a grand motet for two choirs, SATTB and ATTTB, singing in Latin. The jubilant text, announcing the birth of the Saviour and the great joy it brings, is richly set. The composer divides the voices to create a sense of dialogue and grandeur, with the double choir allowing for moments of antiphonal exchange and powerful unified statements. The music reflects the exultant message of the angels' announcement to the shepherds, building to a climactic expression of 'Alleluia'.
