Dedisti solus pacem by Jean de Castro — Lyrics
Dedisti solus pacem Domine Jesu Christe in diebus nostris,
quia non fuit alius, qui pugnavit pro nobis, nisi tu Deus noster.
Benigne fecisti nunc in bona voluntate tua Sion,

About Dedisti solus pacem
Jean de Castro's Dedisti solus pacem unfolds with a rich SATTB texture, weaving together its vocal lines to create a devotional sound world. The Latin text, a prayer for peace in our time, directly addresses Jesus Christ, acknowledging him as the sole source of peace and the only one who fights for us. The music reflects the earnest plea, moving from a solemn invocation to a heartfelt request for the walls of Jerusalem to be rebuilt and for the peace that surpasses all understanding. Castro's motet offers a profound musical setting of this ancient aspiration.
