Canoni sacri by Carlotta Ferrari — Lyrics
Latin|Spanish|Greek|
I. Canoni all’unisono
1. Deus fit in omnibus omnia.
2. Iam lucis orto sidere
Deum precemur supplices
ut in diurnis actibus
nos servet a nocentibus
3. Precamur sancte Domine
hac nocte nos custodias:
sit nobis in te requies
quietas horas tribue.
II. Canoni alla seconda
1. Credo Domine, sed credam firmius
spero, sed sperem securius
amo, sed amem ardentius
doleo, sed doleam vehementius.
2. Gallo canente spes redit,
ægris salus refunditur,
mucro latronis conditur,
lapsis fides revertitur.

About Canoni sacri
Carlotta Ferrari's Canoni sacri offers a rich exploration of polyphony, with four distinct parts built on canons. The work embraces a remarkable linguistic diversity, weaving together Latin, Spanish, Greek, and Italian. These sacred canons present varied devotional texts. Part I features Latin hymns, including a prayer for protection and a plea for peaceful rest. Part II includes a creedal statement of faith and a text celebrating the return of hope. Part III offers a call to wakefulness and vigilance, juxtaposed with a prayer seeking swift divine response. This multi-lingual, multi-textual work provides a unique and intellectually stimulating challenge for choirs.
