Anima mea liquefacta est

This sacred motet for two male voices sets a devotional Latin text expressing intense longing for a beloved. The singer describes their soul melting away, searching in vain and calling out unanswered. The text moves from personal anguish to a plea to the daughters of Jerusalem to carry a message to the beloved that the singer languishes with love. Antonio Cifra’s setting, suitable for a liturgical context or devotional gathering, captures the dramatic and passionate nature of the words through its musical setting for TT voices. This motet would serve as a profound and moving addition to a choir's sacred repertoire, offering a moment of introspection and spiritual yearning.
