Ecce apparebit Dominus by Jacobus Vaet — Lyrics
Ecce apparebit Dominus super nubem candidam,
et cum eo sanctorum millia,
et habebit in femore suo scriptum:
Rex regum et Dominus dominantium.

About Ecce apparebit Dominus
This motet is ideal for Advent or Christmas services. Jacobus Vaet sets a Latin text that speaks of the glorious Second Coming of Christ, appearing with thousands of saints, bearing the title King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The piece also includes a jubilant call for Jerusalem to rejoice, for her Saviour has come. Vaet’s powerful SATTB setting matches the grandeur of the text, offering a rich and complex musical expression of these eschatological and messianic themes. Its polyphonic writing provides opportunities for skilled choirs to explore intricate vocal lines and vibrant harmonic textures.
