Jerusalem quae by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. Laetatus sum in his quae dicta sunt mihi: In domum Domini ibimus.
Stantes erant pedes nostri, in atriis tuis, Jerusalem.
Jerusalem, quae aedificatur ut civitas: cujus participatio ejus in idipsum.
Illuc enim ascenderunt tribus, tribus Domini: testimonium Israël, ad confitendum
nomini Domini.

About Jerusalem quae
Nobuaki Izawa's Jerusalem quae is a setting of a Latin text, likely intended for Communion. The words, drawn from Psalm 122 and others, speak of joyful anticipation of entering God's house and the peace and prosperity of Jerusalem. Izawa crafts this into a motet for SATB choir, exploring the devotional nature of the text through rich harmonies and textures. The music aims to convey the serene and hopeful message of the lyrics, inviting singers and listeners to reflect on themes of unity and divine presence.
