About Benedictus
The words of this sacred motet celebrate the wonderful works of God and praise His majestic name for eternity. The text, a joyful declaration beginning with Alleluia, is set for two voices. Samuel Friedrich Capricornus composed this piece in Latin, a language common for sacred music of the period. This motet offers a devotional setting of a scriptural passage, likely intended for liturgical use or private contemplation. Its intimate scoring for two voices allows for a clear and direct expression of the text's meaning.
