Emitte Spiritum by Johann Evangelist Habert — Lyrics
About Emitte Spiritum
This SATB motet in Latin is ideal for Pentecost or other occasions celebrating the Holy Spirit. The text, a fervent prayer, asks the Spirit to be sent forth to renew the face of the earth and to fill the hearts of believers with divine love. Johann Evangelist Habert sets this powerful plea with the solemnity and devotion characteristic of sacred choral music. The motet's structure and harmonic language support the text's urgency, offering choirs a meaningful and resonant musical expression of faith and spiritual renewal. Its inclusion would undoubtedly add a profound dimension to any sacred service or concert program.
