Beatus homo

Antoine de Févin was a French composer of the late 15th and early 16th centuries, a transitional period in sacred music. Beatus homo is a sacred motet for two voices, AT. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 93:12, speaks of the blessedness of the one whom God instructs and teaches from His law. Févin's setting is characterized by its clarity and directness, reflecting the textual emphasis on divine wisdom and guidance. This concise and engaging work offers a welcome opportunity for developing singers to explore Renaissance polyphony in an intimate setting.
