Fortis cum quevis by Johannes Brassart — Lyrics
Fortis cum quævis actio
Rerumque firma pactio
A Deo gerant processum,
Nos decet ad hoc tendere,
Christo laudes impendere,
Omne per cor indefessum.
Actio specialiter
Quod legia moraliter
Iam incepit novum esse.

About Fortis cum quevis
The text of this motet, written in Latin, urges us to strive for noble actions and steadfast covenants, believing they originate from God. It calls for fervent praise to Christ and reminds us of our duty to seek and maintain a righteous path. The lyrics specifically invoke the Virgin Mary, Queen of Chastity, and John the Evangelist, asking them to hear our prayers. Johannes Brassart sets this devotional text for SSAA choir, crafting a sacred work that reflects the solemnity and earnest supplication of its message.
