Cibavit eos

This sacred motet for ATB voices is a setting of a Latin text drawn from the Old Testament, expressing God's abundant provision. The opening lines, Cibavit eos, speak of God nourishing his people with the finest wheat and honey from the rock, a powerful image of divine sustenance. The text continues with a joyful call to praise God, the helper of Israel, and concludes with the traditional Gloria Patri. Johannes Brassart's setting would have served as an entrance antiphon, musically enhancing the solemnity of the occasion as the choir processed into the church.
