Ego flos campi by Vincenzo Bertolusi — Lyrics
Ego flos campi et lilium convallium.
Sicut lilium inter spinas sic amica mea inter filias.
Sicut malus inter ligna silvarum, sic dilectus meus inter filios.
Sub umbra illius quem desideraveram sedi, et fructus ejus dulcis gutturi meo.
Introduxit me Rex in cellam vinariam ordinavit in me charitatem.

About Ego flos campi
The words of this motet are drawn from the Song of Solomon, painting a vivid picture of love and longing. The choir sings of being a flower of the field and lily of the valleys, a beloved surrounded by others, resting in the shade of their desire and savoring sweet fruit. The text continues with images of a walled garden, a sealed fountain, and living waters flowing from Lebanon, evoking a sense of intimate enclosure and divine grace. Vincenzo Bertolusi sets this evocative Latin text in this sacred motet for choir.
