About Cantabant Sancti Canticum Novum
Gregor Aichinger's Cantabant Sancti Canticum Novum is a powerful motet for double choir (SATB.SATB) in Latin. The text, drawn from the Book of Revelation, describes the saints singing a new song before the throne of God and the Lamb. The music vividly conveys the immense sound of their voices, with the earth resounding in response. The interplay between the two choirs creates a rich, expansive texture, evoking the grandeur of the heavenly vision. This is a substantial work, ideal for a choir seeking a profound and sonically impressive sacred motet with a Latin text.
