Claro Paschali gaudio (1629) by Antonio Cifra — Lyrics
Claro Paschali gaudio
sol mundo nitet radio
Cum Christum iam Apostoli
visu cernunt corporeo.
Ostensa sibi vulnera
in Christi carne fulgida
resurrexisse Dominum
voce fatentur publica.

About Claro Paschali gaudio (1629)
Antonio Cifra's Claro Paschali gaudio unfolds with a rich tapestry of vocal colour, scored for SSAT.SATB. The Latin text celebrates the joy of Easter, proclaiming the Risen Christ's appearance to the Apostles and their public declaration of his resurrection. The music reflects the triumphant spirit of the Easter season, with phrases of jubilation and devotion. The piece moves from a celebration of the divine light shining upon the world to a fervent prayer for protection and remembrance. It is a powerful testament to the central mystery of the Christian faith, set with grandeur and fervent belief.
