Audite cœli by Ottavio Catalani — Lyrics
About Audite cœli
Ottavio Catalani's Audite cœli is a sacred motet for two voices, ST, sung in Latin. The text is drawn from Deuteronomy, where Moses addresses the Israelites. It begins with an invocation to the heavens and the earth to hear his words, comparing his teaching to refreshing rain and dew. The music would be particularly fitting for services during the liturgical season of Ordinary Time, or for any occasion where a call to spiritual attentiveness is appropriate. Catalani's setting likely reflects the persuasive and authoritative nature of the biblical text, offering a poignant and reflective musical experience for a choir.
