Dignus est Agnus

The text Dignus est Agnus draws on the Book of Revelation, celebrating the Lamb who was slain. It proclaims His worthiness to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, and honor, followed by acclamation of His eternal glory and dominion. The latter part shifts focus to prayer, asking God to grant His judgment and justice to the King and His son. Robert Hugill's setting for double SATB choir (eight parts) creates a rich and resonant sound world, ideal for a powerful liturgical statement. The Latin text lends itself to a solemn and majestic interpretation, offering a profound musical experience for the choir and listeners alike during entrance or at a significant moment in a service.
