Beati omnes qui timent Dominum a5 by Orlando di Lasso — 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 qui timent Dominum a5
Orlando di Lasso sets Psalm 128 in this radiant motet for five voices (SAATB). The text, a Song of Degrees, offers a blessing to those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways. It paints a domestic scene of prosperity and peace, envisioning a household blessed with fruitful labour, a bountiful wife like a vine, and children like olive shoots surrounding the table. The music unfolds with a sense of calm assurance, reflecting the promised well-being and the hope of seeing descendants in peace. This Latin motet is a profound expression of domestic felicity and divine favour, delivered through Lasso's masterful contrapuntal skill.
