Emitte lucem tuam by Michael Kraf — Lyrics
Emitte lucem tuam & veritatem tuam,
ipsa me deduxerunt & in tabernacula tua
& adduxerunt in montem sanctum tuum,
& in tabernacula tua & introibo ad altare Dei

About Emitte lucem tuam
This motet, Emitte lucem tuam, is a powerful setting of a sacred Latin text. The words, drawn from Psalm 43, speak of seeking divine guidance and truth, leading the singer to God's holy mountain and altar. It expresses a profound trust in the Lord and a blessing upon those who hope in Him. Scored for double SATB choir, Michael Kraf crafts a rich and complex texture, ideal for liturgical occasions, perhaps within services of Evensong or for a communion motet. The double choir allows for antiphonal effects and a majestic sonic landscape, offering a significant artistic challenge and reward for an accomplished choir.
