Eructavit a 6 by Andrea Gabrieli — Lyrics
In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Filiis Core, ad intellectum.
Canticum pro dilecto.
Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum: dico ego opera mea regi.
Lingua mea calamus scribae velociter scribentis.
Speciosus forma prae filiis hominum, diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis: propterea benedixit te Deus in aeternum.
Accingere gladio tuo super femur tuum, potentissime.
Specie tua et pulchritudine tua intende, prospere procede, et regna, propter veritatem,
et mansuetudinem, et justitiam; et deducet te mirabiliter dextera tua.
Sagittae tuae acutae: populi sub te cadent,
in corda inimicorum regis.
Sedes tua, Deus, in saeculum saeculi; virga directionis virga regni tui.
Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem; propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus,
oleo laetitiae, prae consortibus tuis.
Myrrha, et gutta, et casia a vestimentis tuis, a domibus eburneis;

About Eructavit a 6
Andrea Gabrieli's Eructavit a 6 is a grand motet for double choir, SSATTB, in Latin. It draws on a text that praises a powerful ruler, perhaps a king or a divine figure, for their justice and righteousness. The music likely reflects this regal subject matter, with the two choirs interacting to build a rich and resonant sound. This work would be well-suited to a significant occasion, perhaps a festival or a solemn celebration, where its impressive forces and the gravitas of its text can be fully appreciated.
