Audivi vocem

Raffaella Aleotti’s Audivi vocem sets words from the Book of Revelation, where voices from heaven announce the time to fear God and give glory to Him who created all things. This motet for SSATB voices is a powerful setting of this sacred text. Aleotti, a prominent female composer of the late Renaissance, crafts resonant harmonies and a clear sense of divine command. The rich vocal texture suits the awe-inspiring message, making it an effective choice for services or concerts. The Latin text is treated with dignity and strength, reflecting the grandeur of the apocalyptic vision.
