Alleluia - Tu es Petrus by Anonymous — Lyrics
Tu es Petrus
et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam
et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversus eam.
Et tibi dabo claves regni caelorum.

About Alleluia - Tu es Petrus
This setting of the Gospel Acclamation Alleluia is by an anonymous composer, likely from a tradition of sacred music. Sung in Latin, the text is drawn from Matthew 16:18-19, where Christ declares Peter the rock upon which his church will be built, and grants him the keys of the kingdom of heaven. The voicing for ATB choir is straightforward, making it accessible for a range of ensembles. The composer's focus is on delivering the powerful words with clarity and impact, a characteristic of much medieval and Renaissance liturgical music.
