Conditor Alme Siderum by Remi Studer — Lyrics
Conditor alme siderum
aetérna lux credéntium
Christe redémptor ómnium
exáudi preces[voces] súpplicum
Qui cóndolens intéritu
mortis perire saeculum
salvásti mundum languidum
donans reis remedium.
Vergénte mundi véspere
uti sponsus de thálamo
egréssus honestissima
Virginis matris cláusula.
Cuius forti poténtiae
genu curvántur ómnia
caeléstia, terréstia
nutu faténtur súbdita.

About Conditor Alme Siderum
This powerful SATB setting of the ancient Latin hymn Conditor Alme Siderum is ideal for Advent services. The text, originating from the 7th century, addresses Christ as the Creator and Redeemer, imploring Him to save supplicants from spiritual danger and preserve them from the wicked. The composer Remi Studer’s music reflects the solemnity and profound theological message of the hymn. The Latin lyrics speak of the Lord's compassion, His victory over death, and the divine power to which all creation bows. This piece offers a rich harmonic landscape suitable for a choir looking to present a moving and traditional sacred work during the liturgical year.
