In splendoribus by Ludwig Senfl — Lyrics
In splendoribus sanctorum ex utero ante luciferum genui te.
(Ps. 109:3b)
About In splendoribus
Ludwig Senfl’s motet In splendoribus is an exquisite setting of a Latin text drawn from Psalm 109. Sung at Communion, the words speak of divine generation, proclaiming 'From the womb before the daystar I have begotten you.' This sacred work for SATB voices masterfully captures the solemnity and spiritual depth of the scriptural passage. Senfl’s composition offers a rich harmonic language and flowing melodic lines, creating an atmosphere of profound reverence suitable for liturgical settings or concert performance. It stands as a significant example of Renaissance sacred polyphony, showcasing the composer’s skill in crafting devotional music.
