Dilexit Andream dominus by Philippe Duc — Lyrics
Dilexit Andream dominus in odorem suavitatis.
Dum penderet in cruce dignum sibi computavit martirem quem vocavit apostolum,

About Dilexit Andream dominus
Philippe Duc's motet Dilexit Andream dominus sets a Latin text that celebrates Saint Andrew. The lyrics speak of the Lord's love for Andrew, calling him a martyr and an apostle, a friend of God. It recounts his devotion, his two days hanging on the cross for Christ's name, and his teaching of the people. This sacred work for SSATB choir masterfully portrays Andrew's profound faith and sacrifice, offering a powerful devotional experience.
