Beati omnes by Antonio Scandello — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae;
filii tui sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae.

About Beati omnes
This motet setting of Psalm 127 is ideal for occasions marking domestic and familial blessings. The text, expressing joy in righteous living and the rewards of faith, speaks of the fruitful home, the loving spouse, and the healthy children gathered around the table, all under God's benevolent gaze. Scandello crafts a rich sound world for this devotional text, with the SSAATB voicing providing ample opportunity for complex and resonant harmonies. Its devotional character makes it suitable for reflection during services or concerts, offering a moment of calm assurance and divine favour.
