Dum aurora finem daret

This grand motet, Dum aurora finem daret, is suitable for occasions when a choir might reflect on spiritual warfare and the triumph of light over darkness. The Latin text, attributed to Saint Cecilia, exhorts the soldiers of Christ to cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light. Set for a substantial choir of SSAATTBB, the composer August De Boeck crafts a powerful musical setting that builds to a triumphant climax. Its sacred character and dramatic text make it a compelling choice for services or concerts during periods of reflection or celebration, particularly Lent or Eastertide.
