About Ecce quam bonum
How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity – these words from Psalm 133 are set to glorious effect in this motet by Jean Richafort. The Hebrew of the opening verse is followed by the Latin of the remainder of the psalm. This SATB setting captures the warmth and communal spirit of the text, making it an ideal choice for a choir seeking a rich, sacred work from the Renaissance period. Richafort's contrapuntal skill and expressive harmonic language shine through, creating a moving and uplifting experience for both performers and listeners.
