Haec dicit Dominus by Alexander Utendal — Lyrics
About Haec dicit Dominus
The prophet Hosea's words of repentance and divine healing are set in this powerful motet. The text, taken from Hosea 6:1-3, speaks of turning back to God in times of trouble, with the assurance that He will heal and restore us. The composer Alexander Utendal sets this sacred text in Latin for double choir (SATB.SATB). This arrangement allows for a rich, antiphonal texture, creating a profound and immersive experience as the two choirs converse and respond to the prophetic message of hope and reconciliation.
