Babel

Jacob French’s SATB setting of Babel is a significant work from the sacred repertoire. The piece opens with a jubilant Alleluia, proclaiming that all nations should praise the Lord. The text continues with a declaration of God’s enduring mercy and truth. French masterfully employs the SATB voices to convey the grandeur and spiritual weight of the Latin text, creating a powerful and uplifting experience for both choir and congregation. This motet is particularly suited for major feast days or occasions where a message of divine constancy and praise is desired, offering a rich harmonic language and expressive melodic lines.
