About Duo seraphim
Ottavio Vernizzi’s Duo seraphim is a powerful motet for two sopranos and bass. The interplay between the upper two voices and the bass creates a rich texture, evoking the celestial scene described in the text. The Latin lyrics, drawn from Isaiah, speak of the Seraphim crying out to one another about the glory of the Lord God of Hosts, a message of profound divine presence that fills the earth. The motet captures the awe and majesty inherent in this biblical vision, making it a striking addition to sacred choral repertoire.
