Beati Omnes - Ecce Sic Benedicatur by Cipriano de Rore — 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 - Ecce Sic Benedicatur
The text, from Psalm 128, paints a vivid picture of domestic and spiritual prosperity for those who fear the Lord. It speaks of honest labor, fruitful marriage, and a flourishing family, offering a vision of divine blessing flowing from Zion. Cipriano de Rore's setting for ATTB voices this psalm with a rich, imitative polyphony characteristic of Renaissance motets. The composer masterfully weaves the Latin text, allowing the words of benediction to resonate through the intricate contrapuntal lines. The resulting work is a profound and moving exploration of faithfulness and its promised rewards, rendered with the expressive depth for which Rore was renowned.
