Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel by Ruggerio Argilliano — Lyrics
Benedíctus [Dóminus,] Deus Israël,
quia visitávit, et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ:
Et eréxit cornu salútis nobis
in domo David, púeri sui.
Sicut locútus est per os sanctórum,
qui a sǽculo sunt, prophetárum ejus:
Salútem ex inimícis nostris,
et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos.
Ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris:
et memorári testaménti sui sancti.
Jusjurándum, quod jurávit ad Abraham patrem nostrum,
datúrum se nobis:

About Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel
This setting of the Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel is ideal for Advent services. The Latin text, taken from the Gospel of Luke, recounts the prophecy of Zechariah. Ruggerio Argilliano crafts a rich sonority for SATB and ATTB choirs, offering a substantial and sonorous expression of this biblical passage. The music reflects the text's themes of divine visitation, redemption, and the promise of salvation, making it a fitting choice for liturgical settings during the Advent season.
