Anima nostra by Franz Hengesbach — Lyrics
Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est, de laqueo venantium;
laqueus contritus est, et nos liberati sumus.

About Anima nostra
Franz Hengesbach sets the Latin text of the Mass Proper for the feast of St. Agatha. The antiphon Anima nostra expresses deep relief and gratitude: the soul, like a sparrow, has escaped the hunter's snare, and we are set free. The composer's setting for two-part choir (SA) is direct and devotional, with the second section, Adiutorium nostrum, providing a prayer of praise to God, the creator of all. The music is designed to be accessible, making it suitable for many church choirs seeking to enhance their liturgy with this heartfelt prayer.
