Egrediente Domino (I) by Derrick Gerarde — Lyrics
Ingrediente Domino in sanctam civitatem,
Hebraeorum pueri resurrectionem vitae pronuntiantes,
Cum ramis palmarum:
Hosanna, clamabant, in excelsis.

About Egrediente Domino (I)
Derrick Gerarde’s Egrediente Domino (I) paints a vivid scene of Jesus’s entry into Jerusalem. The text, sung in Latin, evokes the triumphant shouts of the Hebrew children, proclaiming resurrection and waving palm branches. Their cries of ‘Hosanna in excelsis’ fill the sacred space, celebrating the arrival of Christ. This motet is written for SAATB voices, creating a rich and varied texture to convey the drama and devotion of the moment. The music likely reflects the jubilant yet solemn atmosphere of this significant biblical event.
