Cibavit eos II

This setting of the Latin text Cibavit eos, from the antiphonary, would be appropriate for a festival or communion service. The composer Mariano Garau sets the words expressively for SATB choir, beginning with the jubilant "Cibavit eos ex adipe frumenti" ("He fed them with the finest wheat"). The contrasting verses, "Exultate Deo adiutori nostro" ("Rejoice in God our helper"), offer a further opportunity for joyful celebration, building to the triumphant "Gloria Patri". The musical setting reflects the rich devotional nature of the liturgical text, making it a stirring addition to sacred choral repertoire.
