Ecce, quam bonum

The text, from Psalm 133, paints a picture of unity and fellowship, asking 'Behold, how good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity.' Philipp Dulichius sets this Hebrew text, seamlessly transitioning into a Latin setting of the same sentiment in the latter part of the motet. Scored for double choir (SSAT.ATTB), this sacred motet by Dulichius provides a rich sonic experience, allowing the composer to explore antiphonal effects and contrapuntal textures. The substantial forces are employed to create a powerful and moving declaration of communal harmony.
