Graduale de BMV by Johann Michael Haydn — Lyrics
Germinavit radix Jesse, orta est stella ex Jacob,
virgo peperit Salvatorem: te laudamus, Deus noster.
About Graduale de BMV
The words of this motet describe the blossoming of Jesse's root, the star rising from Jacob, and the virgin giving birth to the Saviour, offering praise to God. Johann Michael Haydn sets this sacred Latin text for SATB choir. The music unfolds the devotional message with clear textures and expressive harmonies, suitable for liturgical settings or concert performance. It draws on the rich tradition of motet composition, providing a concise yet profound musical reflection on the Nativity.
