Beati omnes by William Daman — Lyrics
Beati omnes qui timent Dominum.
Servite Domino in timore et exsultate ei cum tremore.
Domine Deus meus, in te speravi: salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me et libera me.

About Beati omnes
William Daman’s motet Beati omnes sets words drawn from the Vulgate Psalms. The text speaks of those who fear the Lord and serve him with reverence, finding salvation through faith and offering praise to God. This setting for double choir (SSTTBB) draws its voices into a rich dialogue, creating moments of both awe and jubilation. Daman was a composer active in England during the latter half of the 16th century, a period of significant change in English church music. Beati omnes exemplifies the contrapuntal mastery of the era, with interwoven vocal lines that build to profound musical statements.
