Ecce sic benedicetur by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae;
filii tui sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae.

About Ecce sic benedicetur
The SATB voices enter with a gentle, flowing energy, building to a rich homophonic texture that luxuriates in the psalm's blessings. The music perfectly captures the psalm's sense of well-being and abundance, with the Latin text speaking of the joys of a faithful life. It describes the fruits of labour, the flourishing family, and the enduring peace that comes from devotion. The composer weaves these themes into a soaring affirmation, bringing the text to life with harmonic warmth and vocal richness, culminating in a prayer for lasting prosperity and well-being for the faithful.
