Christe redemptor omnium by Jacobus Vaet — Lyrics
CHRISTE, redemptor omnium,
conserva tuos famulos,
beatae semper Virginis
placatus sanctis precibus.
Beata quoque agmina
caelestium spirituum,
praeterita, praesentia,
futura mala pellite.
Vates aeterni iudicis
apostolique Domini,
suppliciter exposcimus
salvari vestris precibus.
Martyres Dei incliti
confessoresque lucidi,
vestris orationibus
nos ferte in caelestibus.
Chori sanctarum virginum
monachorumque omnium,
simul cum sanctis omnibus

About Christe redemptor omnium
This setting of the Latin hymn Christe redemptor omnium, attributed to Rabanus Maurus, is for SAATTB choir. The text is a prayer for Christ to preserve his servants, asking for the intercession of the Virgin Mary, heavenly spirits, prophets, apostles, martyrs, confessors, virgins, and monks. It implores protection from future evils and seeks to unite all believers under God. Jacobus Vaet's music sets this solemn petition with rich, expansive textures suitable for a liturgical setting. The five voice parts allow for intricate contrapuntal interplay and powerful harmonic statements, reflecting the profound spiritual significance of the words.
