Beati omnes by Loyset Piéton — 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 for TTBB voices sets a Latin text drawn from Psalm 127, a psalm of ascents. Loyset Piéton crafts a setting that unfolds with a gentle, flowing character. The voices move together in a predominantly homophonic texture, creating a sense of warmth and unity. The music effectively conveys the text's message of blessing and domestic joy, describing the happiness of those who fear the Lord and enjoy the fruits of their labor, surrounded by a flourishing family. The composer's skill is evident in the clear declamation of the text and the rich sonority of the four male voices, offering a serene and comforting musical experience.
