Benedictus es, domine by Francesco Stivori — Lyrics
About Benedictus es, domine
This jubilant motet setting of the Benedictus es, domine is ideal for services of thanksgiving or celebration. Francesco Stivori’s setting for SATTB choir draws on the Latin text’s expression of praise and gratitude. The opening lines, "Blessed art thou, O Lord, for thou hast heard me. I will sing unto thee and magnify thy name for ever," set a tone of profound adoration. The composer’s music articulates the text’s message of exultation, making this a powerful addition to a choir’s sacred repertoire. Its rich five-part texture allows for a full and resonant sound, suitable for liturgical occasions or concert performance.
