Crucem tuam a 4

Aristotle Aure Esguerra's motet Crucem tuam is written for SATB choir. The Latin text is a devotional reflection on the Cross. It begins with the words Crucem tuam adoramus, Domine, and sanctum resurrectionem tuam laudamus, et glorificamus, expressing adoration of the Cross and praise for Christ's resurrection, which brought joy to the world. This is followed by the opening verses of Psalm 51 (50 in the Vulgate), Deus misereatur nostri, et benedicat nobis, imploring God's mercy and blessing. The piece is a sacred motet, suitable for liturgical or concert use.
