Ex altari tuo, Domine by Giuseppe Pitoni — Lyrics
Ex altari tuo, Domine, Christum sumimus: in quem cor et caro nostra exultant.
About Ex altari tuo, Domine
Giuseppe Pitoni was a composer of sacred music in 17th-century Rome. This motet, Ex altari tuo, Domine, is for SATB choir and sets a Latin text with a Eucharistic theme. The words speak of receiving Christ from the altar, a moment that causes the heart and flesh to exult. Pitoni's setting captures this spiritual joy with clear, devotional harmonies typical of the Roman school tradition. Its directness and devotional intensity make it suitable for liturgical occasions and as a moving concert motet.
