About Benedicamus Patrem
This setting of a Latin text is a sacred motet by Tiburtio Massaino. The words express praise and exaltation to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, invoking blessings and glorifying God in the heavens for all time. Massaino crafts this devotional text for a rich six-part choir, requiring two sopranos, two altos, and two tenors (AATB, ATTB), alongside a standard SATB choir. The interplay between these vocal lines creates a full and resonant sound, ideal for liturgical settings or concert performance where the grandeur of the text can be fully realised.
