Ecce sacerdos magnus by Franciszek Walczyński — Lyrics
Ecce sacerdos magnus, qui in diebus suis placuit Deo.
Ideo jurejurando fecit illum Dominus crescere in plebem suam.
Benedictionem omnium gentium dedit illi
et testamentum suum confirmavit super caput ejus.

About Ecce sacerdos magnus
Franciszek Walczyński's motet Ecce sacerdos magnus is written for SSA choir and sung in Latin. The text is a liturgical passage celebrating a great high priest who pleased God and was blessed. It also includes the Lesser Doxology, giving it a strong liturgical character. The motet sets this grand text in a way suitable for sacred occasions. Walczyński's composition offers a rich opportunity for three-part female voices to explore the solemnity and devotion inherent in the Latin text.
