Flamine faeta sacro by Daniel Friderici — Lyrics
Flamine foeta sacro Virgo parit innuba Verbum:
O quantum est, hominis sumere membra Deum.
About Flamine faeta sacro
Daniel Friderici sets a Latin text that speaks of the Virgin Birth. The words express wonder at the divine mystery: 'The Virgin, unfathered by earthly seed, gives birth to the Word, conceived by the holy Spirit; O what a marvel that God assumes human limbs.' This sacred motet is written for two voices, SS, and is a concise and devotional reflection on a central tenet of Christian belief. It is scored for simple two-part harmony, making it accessible for choirs seeking a piece that is both textually profound and vocally manageable. The composer's setting emphasizes the awe-inspiring nature of the Incarnation.
