Constitues eos principes

Francesco Foggia was a prolific composer of sacred music in the Italian Baroque tradition. This motet, Constitues eos principes, is written for a full SSATB choir. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 45, speaks of a new covenant and enduring remembrance of God's name. The music likely reflects the solemnity and grandeur appropriate to such a text, with Foggia's characteristic contrapuntal skill and rich harmonic language. It is a powerful example of sacred motet composition from this period, suitable for a skilled choir seeking to explore the richer repertoire of the Baroque era.
