Beati omnes by Tiburtio Massaino — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae;
filii tui sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae.

About Beati omnes
This setting of Psalm 128 (Beati omnes) paints a scene of domestic prosperity and divine blessing. The text speaks of the joys of family life, likening a wife to a fruitful vine and children to olive shoots, promising long life and peace. Tiburtio Massaino captures this hopeful message in his SATTB setting. The Latin text, a well-known Vesper Psalm, is treated with rich homophonic textures, allowing the serene words to shine through. This sacred work is suitable for services or concerts where a devotional yet uplifting atmosphere is desired, offering a sense of comfort and assurance through its well-crafted polyphony.
