Alleluia. Veni electa mea by John Sheppard — Lyrics
Veni electa mea et ponam in te thronum meum, quia concupivit Rex speciem tuam.
Et pulchritudine tua intende prospere procede et regna.
About Alleluia. Veni electa mea
This substantial Alleluia by John Sheppard is a powerful Gospel Acclamation, suitable for a major feast day or celebratory occasion. Sung in Latin, the text is a fervent address from the Bridegroom to the Bride, likely representing Christ and the Church or the Virgin Mary. The composer evokes the splendor of the divine union, with the King desiring the Bride's beauty and commanding her to proceed in glory. Scored for TTBB voices, Sheppard crafts rich, sonorous harmonies that build to moments of ecstatic praise, providing a profound and majestic musical statement for a male choir.
