Fulgebunt justi

The righteous will shine like lilies and bloom like roses in Jericho before the Lord. Orlando di Lasso’s sacred motet Fulgebunt justi sets this comforting passage from the Book of Wisdom. Its Latin text speaks of the eternal radiance of the just. Composed for a four-part choir divided into SA and TB sections, this setting offers a rich harmonic texture suitable for services or concerts. The interplay between the upper and lower voices creates a devotional atmosphere, reflecting the radiant imagery of the text. Lasso, a master of Renaissance polyphony, imbues the motet with a profound sense of peace and spiritual assurance.
