Angelus Domini by Adrianus Tubal — Lyrics
Angelus Domini locutus est mulieribus dicens:
Quem quaeritis?
An Jesum quaeritis iam surrexit.
Venite et videte, alleluya.

About Angelus Domini
Adrianus Tubal's Angelus Domini is a sacred motet for SATTB choir, sung in Latin. The text draws directly from the biblical account of the Resurrection, specifically the encounter of the women with the angel at the tomb. The music reflects the narrative, opening with the angel's announcement and questioning, then moving to the joyous revelation that Jesus has risen and will meet them in Galilee. The composer's setting for double choir emphasizes the dramatic dialogue and the exclamatory Alleluias, creating a powerful musical expression of the Easter message. This motet is a significant example of Renaissance polyphony, offering a profound devotional experience.
