Ego mater by Floriano Canale — Lyrics
Ego vos elegi de mundo ut eatis
et fructum afferatis
et fructus vester maneat.
Alleluia.
Ego mater pulchræ dilectionis et timoris
et magnitudinis et sanctæ spei

About Ego mater
Floriano Canale composed this sacred motet for SAATTB voices. The Latin text draws from the Bible, with the opening phrases referencing Christ's selection of his disciples to bear fruit that will last. The subsequent lines present a personification of Divine Love, speaking of grace, truth, hope, life, and virtue. The text invites all who desire this love to come and be filled, finding their inheritance sweeter than honey. This work offers rich harmonic possibilities for a large choir, exploring the devotional themes with polyphonic textures.
