Beatus vir qui inventus est by Francesco Stivori — Lyrics
Beatus vir qui inventus est sine macula et qui post aurum non abiit, nec speravit in pecuniae thesauris.
Quis est hic, et laudabimus eum? Fecit enim mirabilia in vita sua.

About Beatus vir qui inventus est
The Book of Jesus the Son of Sirach tells us that blessed is the man who is found without fault, who does not pursue gold or place his hope in riches. This Latin motet for SAATTB voices explores this sentiment, asking who this person is and promising to praise them for the wonders they have performed in their life. Francesco Stivori's setting of this passage from the Old Testament is a rich and expressive work, ideal for a choir seeking to present a profound and uplifting sacred text with full vocal colour.
