Caritas Dei diffusa est (Tertia pars)

This sacred motet, Caritas Dei diffusa est (Tertia pars), is a setting by Sigismondo d'India. Scored for SATTB voices, it is sung in Latin. The text is an antiphon, which speaks of the love of God poured into our hearts through the indwelling of His Spirit, followed by a psalm of praise. D'India's treatment of this text, likely intended for liturgical use, showcases his skill in conveying devotional sentiment through rich vocal polyphony. This particular section, the third part, focuses on the divine charity and the presence of the Holy Spirit within the believer, expressed with appropriate solemnity and grace for a motet of this era.
