About Dicite pusillanimes
Johann Joseph Fux, a leading composer in Vienna at the turn of the 18th century, wrote this sacred motet for SATB choir. Sung in Latin, Dicite pusillanimes draws its text from Isaiah 35:4, often used as a communion hymn. The words speak of comfort and reassurance: 'Say to them that are of a fearful heart, be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come and save you.' The setting is likely to reflect the hopeful and devotional character of the text, offering solace and a call to spiritual strength.
