Antiphone super Psalmos by Gregor Aichinger — Lyrics
I
Sacerdos in æternum
Christus Dominus secundum
ordinem Melchisedech
panem et vinum obtulit.
II
Miserator Dominus
Escam dedit timentibus se
in memoriam sic
ovum mirabilium.

About Antiphone super Psalmos
Gregor Aichinger was a German composer of the late Renaissance. This setting, Antiphon super Psalmos, is for SATB choir and is sung in Latin. It falls into the genre of sacred motets, specifically an antiphon. The text draws from various psalm verses and liturgical phrases. It speaks of Christ as a priest forever, offering bread and wine, and of God giving food to those who fear him. It also includes phrases about receiving the cup of salvation and offering a sacrifice of praise, concluding with a beatitude about peace and being satisfied with the finest wheat. The music would typically frame a psalm or other liturgical chant.
