Fundata est domus Domini

Dominique Phinot's sacred motet Fundata est domus Domini is a rich example of Renaissance polyphony for SATTB choir. The Latin text, drawn from scripture, celebrates the divine foundation and exaltation of God's house, predicting that all nations will flock to it and proclaim glory to God. The music reflects the solemnity and grandeur of the text, with imitative vocal lines weaving together to create a powerful and resonant sound. The motet offers directors an opportunity to explore the expressive capabilities of a diverse vocal ensemble through this significant work of the period.
