Congratulamini mihi by Federico Coda — Lyrics
About Congratulamini mihi
This is a sacred motet for SATB choir, sung in Latin. The text expresses profound joy and personal revelation, drawing from the Gospel accounts of the Resurrection. It begins with an invitation to rejoice with the singer, who has found the one they were seeking. The lyrics speak of weeping at the tomb and then seeing the Lord, emphasizing the personal encounter with Christ. Even as the disciples depart, the singer remains, enflamed with love and desire for the risen Christ. The ecstatic Alleluia at the end perfectly captures the overwhelming sense of spiritual fulfillment and devotion conveyed throughout the piece.
