Fundata est

Henri de la Court's motet Fundata est is a grand and expansive setting of a Latin text that speaks of the exaltation of God's house. The text describes how the Lord's house is founded on the mountaintop, raised above all hills, and that all nations will stream to it, proclaiming glory to the Lord. The music reflects this sense of grandeur through its rich textures, moving between SAATTB and SATTTB voicings. The celebratory arrival of peoples bearing their offerings is underlined by joyful Alleluias, creating a powerful and uplifting devotional experience. This motet would serve as a magnificent centrepiece for a service or concert.
