Jerusalem plantabis vineam by Giulio Ciccarelli — Lyrics
Jerusalem plantabis vineam in montibus tuis et exsultabis[et gaudebis],
quia[quoniam] dies Domini veniet. Surge Sion, convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum.

About Jerusalem plantabis vineam
Giulio Ciccarelli’s Jerusalem plantabis vineam is a striking SATTB motet setting a Latin text of expectation and rejoicing. The music opens with a sense of dignified fervour, the voices weaving together in rich harmony. The text speaks of planting a vineyard in Jerusalem and exclaiming with joy, for the day of the Lord is coming. It calls for Zion to rise and turn to God, promising that the saviour will come from among the nations to bring joy and gladness to Jacob.
