Fulgebunt justi by Cipriano de Rore — Lyrics
Fulgebunt justi et tamquam scintillæ in arundineto discurrent.
Judicabunt nationes, et dominabuntur populis,
et regnabit Dominus illorum in perpetuum.

About Fulgebunt justi
The just will shine like sparks among the reeds, as Cipriano de Rore’s SATB motet Fulgebunt justi vividly depicts. This sacred setting, sung in Latin, captures the powerful imagery of the righteous judging nations and reigning eternally, with the Lord ruling over them forever. Rore's Renaissance mastery is evident in his sensitive treatment of this scriptural text, likely drawn from the Book of Wisdom. The piece offers a profound musical meditation on divine justice and everlasting reign, making it a compelling choice for choirs seeking to explore significant Renaissance sacred repertoire.
