Creator omnium Deus by Adrian Willaert — Lyrics
Creator omnium Deus, terribilis et fortis et justus et misericors.
Da pacem Domine in diebus nostris.
About Creator omnium Deus
Adrian Willaert's Creator omnium Deus is a substantial sacred motet for double choir (SATTTB). Its opening is marked by bold, imitative polyphony, with the two choirs often set in dynamic dialogue. The text, in Latin, is a prayer for peace, beginning with an invocation of God as the creator, who is terrible, strong, just, and merciful. The music reflects the grandeur of the divine, with expansive vocal lines and rich harmonic textures across the ten voices. It builds to powerful climaxes, mirroring the supplication for peace in our days. This setting would provide a profound and majestic statement for a choir seeking significant Renaissance polyphony.
