Anima Christi sanctifica me by Orazio Tarditi — Lyrics
Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Passio Christi, conforta me.
O bone Jesu, O dulcis Jesu exaudi me.

About Anima Christi sanctifica me
Orazio Tarditi was a composer of sacred music in 17th-century Italy. This motet, Anima Christi sanctifica me, is written for SSAB voices and sets a Latin text that is a popular devotional prayer. The words ask Christ's soul, body, blood, and passion to sanctify, save, inebriate, and comfort the singer, offering refuge within his wounds and praying not to be separated from him, especially in the hour of death. Tarditi's setting aims to express the fervent pleas of this deeply personal meditation, creating a rich texture suitable for intimate liturgical settings or concert performance.
