About Audivi vocem de caelo a 6|from {{NoCo|Missa pro defunctis

The text, drawn from the Requiem Mass, offers words of comfort and assurance: 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.' Duarte Lobo sets this profound Latin antiphon for a large choir, dividing them into two distinct ensembles: one of six voices (SSTTTB) and another of eight (SSAATB). This expansive scoring allows for a rich interplay of sonic colour and textural depth, creating an atmospheric and emotionally resonant setting of the sacred text. It is a powerful example of late Renaissance polyphony, ideal for liturgical occasions or concert programming seeking solemn reflection.
