About Duo seraphim
Juan Esquivel's Duo seraphim is a powerful motet for SSAATB choir, suitable for settings where the glory of God is proclaimed. The text, taken from Isaiah and the First Epistle of John, speaks of the seraphim calling to one another, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth, and of the Trinity bearing witness in heaven. Esquivel's setting emphasizes the awe-inspiring grandeur of these sacred texts, creating a rich and resonant sound world. The Latin lyrics, sung by a large divisi choir, convey both the heavenly praise and the profound theological truths of the Christian faith. This work offers a compelling opportunity for choirs to explore complex harmonies and dynamic contrasts.
