Domus mea domus orationis vocabitur

This motet by Jacob Regnart sets a passage from the Gospels, where Jesus declares that his house shall be called a house of prayer. The text speaks of God's willingness to hear the pleas of those who seek him, find him, and knock at his door, concluding with a joyous Alleluja. Regnart’s SATTB setting in Latin offers a rich, devotional texture suitable for a liturgical context, perhaps during Ordinary Time or a service focused on prayer and petition. The composer's skill in crafting compelling sacred polyphony is evident throughout this devotional work, making it a meaningful addition to a choir's sacred repertoire.
