Esurientes implevit bonis by Anonymous — Lyrics
;Vulgate
Magnificat, anima mea, Dominum
et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo, salutari meo.
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillæ suæ:
ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
Quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est, et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo,
dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
Deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles;
esurientes implevit bonis et divites dimisit inanes.
Suscepit Israel puerum suum recordatus misericordiæ suæ,

About Esurientes implevit bonis
This setting of the Magnificat, sung here in Latin, focuses on the poignant words "the hungry he has filled with good things." The anonymous composer crafts a motet for three male voices (ATB) that brings this canticle of divine mercy to life. The music likely reflects the soaring joy and humble gratitude of Mary's response to the angel, particularly the verses detailing God's favour towards the lowly and the needy. This work belongs to the rich tradition of sacred motets, offering a powerful expression of faith for a choir.
