Claudite me

Ottavio Vernizzi's motet Claudite me is set for two voices, soprano and bass. It is a sacred work in Latin, typical of the motet tradition. The text, beginning Claudite me, invites divine fruits to be planted like a rose by streams of water, to flourish and give forth a sweet fragrance like Lebanon. It urges the singer's flowers to blossom like lilies, to offer their scent, and to praise and bless the Lord. The music aims to capture the devotional and lyrical nature of these scriptural inspirations, offering a reflective moment for both performers and listeners.
