Anima mea - Adiuro vos by Guillaume Le Heurteur — Lyrics
Anima mea liquefacta est ut dilectus locutus est;
quæsivi, et non inveni illum;
vocavi, et non respondit mihi.
Invenerunt me custodes civitatis;
percusserunt me, et vulneraverunt me.

About Anima mea - Adiuro vos
Guillaume Le Heurteur's Anima mea - Adiuro vos is a substantial motet for double choir, SAATTB, setting a Latin text from the Song of Songs. The opening section vividly portrays the soul's anguish and desperate search for the beloved, who has vanished. The choir's response expresses this longing with dramatic flair. The text then shifts to a plea to the daughters of Jerusalem, asking them to inform the beloved that the speaker is languishing with love. This motet would be well-suited for a liturgical setting during Passiontide or Lent, reflecting the themes of spiritual yearning and suffering.
