Constitues eos principes

Jean de Bonmarché composed this motet for a seven-part choir, with parts for Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass repeated. The Latin text, Constitues eos principes, is drawn from Psalm 44 (verse 17 in the Vulgate), a responsorial psalm often used as an offertory hymn. The text translates as 'You shall make them princes over all the earth.' This sacred work, written in the tradition of motet composition, offers a rich and sonorous texture suitable for liturgical settings. The full voicing suggests a powerful and resonant performance, ideal for reinforcing the scriptural message.
