Iesu tibi sit gloria

Carlotta Ferrari’s Iesu tibi sit gloria for SATB chorus opens with a sense of fervent exaltation, the voices entering in succession to build a rich, imitative texture. The setting is homophonic in places, enhancing the declamation of the Latin text which offers praise to Jesus as the one who appeared to the nations, now and for all time. This hymn setting, full of devotional warmth, would be an effective addition to services or concerts of sacred music, offering a moment of radiant praise.
