About Filiae Jerusalem
Jacques Arcadelt's Filiae Jerusalem is a sacred motet for STTB voices, sung in Latin. The text, drawn from liturgical sources, addresses the daughters of Jerusalem, inviting them to witness the martyrs crowned by the Lord with joy and celebration. Arcadelt masterfully sets this devotional text, weaving a rich harmonic language that reflects the solemnity and exultation of the subject matter. His sensitive approach to the Latin text allows the message of faith and witness to resonate clearly, making this motet a poignant and moving addition to any choral programme.
