Afferentur regi by Franz Xaver Witt — Lyrics
Afferentur regi virgines post eam; proximae ejus afferentur tibi.
Afferentur in laetitia et exsultatione; adducentur in templum regis.
About Afferentur regi
Franz Xaver Witt's Afferentur regi is a sacred motet for TTBB voices. The Latin text, drawn from the Vulgate Bible (Psalm 45:8-9), describes virgins being brought to the king in gladness and exultation, entering the temple. Witt's setting captures the joyful and reverent nature of this scriptural passage. Composed for male choir, this motet offers a rich harmonic language and a powerful, uplifting message, making it a suitable choice for liturgical settings or concert programmes seeking to explore the glories of sacred choral music.
