Immittet angelus Domini by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
About Immittet angelus Domini
Orlando di Lasso paints a scene of divine protection and solace in this sacred motet. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 33, describes an angel of the Lord surrounding and rescuing those who fear Him. The music invites singers and listeners to taste and see that the Lord is good, offering a moment of spiritual reflection and comfort. Scored for SATB voices, this motet would serve as a profound Offertory hymn, its rich harmonies and expressive melody drawing listeners into the comforting message of divine guardianship and the sweetness of God's presence.
