Beati omnes a 9 by Christoph Straus — 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 a 9
This impressive motet, Beati omnes, is scored for a nine-part choir (SSAATTBBB), offering rich harmonic possibilities. Composed by Christoph Straus, it is written in Latin, drawing from Psalm 127 (128), a text often sung during celebrations of family and home. The psalm describes the blessings bestowed upon those who fear the Lord, depicting a life of prosperity, a fruitful marriage, healthy children, and a long, peaceful existence. Straus's setting would suit a solemn occasion, perhaps within a service or a concert setting, highlighting the sacred and celebratory nature of the text with its grand vocal forces.
