Ex aequo vivant

These words from the New Testament, calling for peaceful coexistence and unity of faith, are set by Ulrich Braetel for SATTB choir. The Latin text expresses a fervent prayer for harmony among all people. Braetel’s setting reflects the solemnity of the message, with the rich sonorities of the five-part choir enhancing the devotional quality of the motet. This is a powerful sacred work, suitable for services or concerts where a message of peace and unity is particularly resonant. The composer crafts a moving musical setting that fully embraces the spiritual depth of the scripture. Its directness and sincerity make it an affecting addition to any choral programme.
