Dominator Domine coelorum

Floriano Canale's Dominator Domine coelorum is a sacred motet for double choir (SAATTB). The Latin text is a prayer addressing God as the Lord and Creator of all things, beseeching him to hear the prayers of his servants. It emphasizes God's compassion for the humble and meek. The composer uses the expansive forces of SAATTB to create a rich and resonant sound, fitting for a plea to the King of all creation. This setting would undoubtedly lend gravitas and spiritual depth to a liturgical service or concert program, allowing the choir to explore dynamic contrasts and vocal textures in expressing the text's profound supplication.
