Del vago eminente by Manuel de Zumaya — Lyrics
Del vago eminente imperio
que dora de Pedro los rayos,
huyendo las ombras
por el aire que arguye derechos,₋
el águila regia, salió caudalosa.
Coplas
1. Si águila es Pedro que al alto
sacro imperio se remonta;
por que el clemente vago
no ha de decir que le toca.
2. Que es águila bien lo dice
en las plumas que enarbola
pues a Dios de en hito en hito,
cual sol de justicia goza.
3. Coroma sacra se ciñe

About Del vago eminente
Del vago eminente is a sacred Spanish motet for SSATTB voices by Manuel de Zumaya. The text praises St. Peter, likening him to a regal eagle ascending to a heavenly empire, guided by Christ, the sun of justice. It describes Peter's spiritual authority and his role in the Church, leading the faithful and denouncing those who do not adore Christ. The motet would be suitable for services honouring St. Peter or for general liturgical use. Its rich vocal texture allows for a powerful and devotional rendition of the devotional Spanish text.
