About Apparuit gratia Dei

These words, from the Second Letter to Titus, speak of the grace of God appearing to all mankind, teaching us to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina sets this comforting biblical text in a grand Double SATB setting. The intricate counterpoint and rich harmonic language typical of his style perfectly enhance the devotional character of the Latin scripture. This motet offers a profound musical setting of a significant theological passage, ideal for experienced choirs seeking to explore the polyphonic mastery of the High Renaissance.
