Hodie, dilectissimi, omnium sanctorum by Philippe de Monte — Lyrics
Hodie, dilectissimi, omnium sanctorum sub una solemnitatis laetitia celebramus festivitatem,
Quorum societate caelum exultat,
quorum patrociniis terra laetatur,
quorum triumphis Ecclesia sancta coronatur,
quorum confessio quanto in passione fortior tanto est clarior in honore:
quia dum crevit pugna crevit et pugnantium gloria;

About Hodie, dilectissimi, omnium sanctorum
Philippe de Monte was a prolific and celebrated composer of the late Renaissance. This sacred motet, Hodie, dilectissimi, omnium sanctorum, is written in Latin and scored for a large choir, with an alternating texture of ATB and SSAT sections, creating a rich and varied sound. The text is a joyous celebration of all saints, highlighting their steadfastness in faith and their triumphs. It speaks of the exultation of heaven and the rejoicing of the earth in their company, and the glory of the Church crowned by their confessors. The motet reflects on how the strength of the Church grew through enduring suffering, drawing inspiration from Christ's own passion and death.
