Benedictus qui venit

This Benedictus qui venit by Francisco Valls is ideal for liturgical settings. Scored for three female voices (AAAT), it sets a Latin text from the Mass, part of the Sanctus. The music is structured as a canon, requiring precision and sensitivity from the singers. The composer’s setting reflects the joyful and expectant nature of the words, proclaiming 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord' and 'Hosanna in the highest'. Its contrapuntal nature makes it a rewarding challenge for an accomplished choir, offering a rich and sonorous texture that will resonate within a sacred space.
