Beati omnes à 5 by Pietro Lappi — 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 à 5
This is a setting of Psalm 127, also known as the Canticum graduum. The text offers a vision of domestic bliss and divine favour for those who honour God. It speaks of the rewards of honest labour, the fruitfulness of marriage, and the blessing of children and grandchildren, all within a context of peace for Israel. Pietro Lappi's setting for five voices (SSATB) treats this joyful text with appropriate warmth and reverence. The Latin words are sung with clarity and expressiveness, making this a fitting motet for Vespers or other occasions where a psalm setting is required.
