Audite gentes et attendite, que canunt Angeli.
Adorate Dominum in attrio sancto ejus.

About Audite gentes
Biagio Gherardi's Audite gentes is a sacred motet for SSATB voices in Latin. The text draws from various biblical sources, urging listeners to heed the angelic songs and adore the Lord. It proclaims the divine presence as the source of life, describing Christ as the living bread descended from heaven, whose flesh is food and blood is drink. The motet then calls for adoration and praise of this 'King of wonder', the 'angelic bread', which is also made sustenance for humanity, concluding with a jubilant call to sing and give glory to God.
