Ecce Nomen Domini Op. 124

The Latin text celebrates the Nativity of Christ, announcing the Lord's name, Emmanuel, as revealed by Gabriel and fulfilled through the Virgin Mary. It paints a scene of the newborn King appearing in Israel, born in Bethlehem and seen in Jerusalem, ultimately honored throughout the land. Mark D. Falcone sets this evocative sacred text for SAB choir. The music captures the joyous proclamation of the Incarnation and the divine mercy that brought the King of Israel to earth.
