About Ecce quam bonum
Giovanni Sansoni’s BB motet Ecce quam bonum opens with a sense of joyous immediacy, the two voices entering in close imitation, creating a rich, resonant texture. The text, drawn from Psalm 133, speaks of the beauty and delight of brethren dwelling together in unity. The composer’s setting, sung here in a blend of Hebrew and Latin, captures this sentiment with an expressive and engaging musical line. This work offers a compelling opportunity for two lower voices to explore both the lyrical and the contrapuntal possibilities of this ancient psalm verse.
