Custodes hominum

This setting of the Latin hymn Custodes hominum is by an anonymous composer, likely from the medieval period. The text is a prayer to the guardian angels, asking them to protect humanity from the fallen angel and his temptations, recalling the story of Lucifer's pride and expulsion from heaven. The hymn celebrates the power of the Holy Trinity, whose divine will governs all creation. This piece is for SATB choir and would suit services or concerts where a reflective and devotional sacred work is desired. The text expresses a plea for divine assistance against spiritual dangers, culminating in a doxology to the Trinity.
