Conditor alme siderum by Jan Le Febure — Lyrics
Conditor alme siderum
aetérna lux credéntium
Christe redémptor ómnium
exáudi preces[voces] súpplicum
Qui cóndolens intéritu
mortis perire saeculum
salvásti mundum languidum
donans reis remedium.
Vergénte mundi véspere
uti sponsus de thálamo
egréssus honestissima
Virginis matris cláusula.
Cuius forti poténtiae
genu curvántur ómnia
caeléstia, terréstia
nutu faténtur súbdita.

About Conditor alme siderum
Jan Le Febure set this ancient Latin text, a Marian antiphon dating from the 7th century. Its words address Christ as the Creator and Redeemer, praying for preservation from spiritual danger and offering praise to the Trinity. The composer’s SATB setting captures the solemnity and fervent prayer of the original text. The music is well-suited for liturgical occasions and contemplative moments, providing a rich harmonic setting for this significant hymn.
