Beatus Benedictus abbas,
qui confisus est in domino,
predicavit preceptum domini,
et constitutus est in monte sancto eius.

About Beatus Benedictus abbas
The words of this sacred motet depict Saint Benedict as a wise man who built his house upon a firm rock, trusting in the Lord. This setting of the Latin text is for five voices: two sopranos, alto, tenor, and bass. Philippe Duc composed this music, offering a devotional reflection on the saint’s steadfast faith and wisdom. The five-part texture allows for rich harmonic possibilities, creating a devotional atmosphere appropriate for contemplation of the text's spiritual message. The motet's structure likely mirrors the progression of the text, from the blessing of Benedict to his wise foundation.
