In caelesti hierarchia by Antonio Gualtieri — Lyrics
In caelesti hierarchia,
nova sonet armonia,
novo ducta cantico
cui concordet in hac via
nostri chori melodia

About In caelesti hierarchia
Antonio Gualtieri's motet In caelesti hierarchia is written for double choir (SATB.SATB) in Latin. The text, a Marian antiphon, speaks of a new harmony and song in the celestial hierarchy, which our earthly choir's melody should emulate in joyful concordance with the Lord. It asks that the flock be entrusted to a shepherd for evermore. This sacred music, drawing on the rich tradition of Renaissance motet composition, offers a challenging yet rewarding experience for advanced choirs seeking to explore polyphonic textures and express profound theological sentiment through intricate vocal interplay.
