Gregem tuam

This setting of the Latin text Gregem tuam pastor aeterne is ideal for services in Ordinary Time or for Marian feast days. The text is a plea to the Eternal Shepherd not to abandon his flock, but to guard them perpetually through the intercession of his angels. The anonymous composer has crafted a prayerful motet for STTB voices, the rich lower harmonies of the four parts lending a sense of solemnity and devotion. Its direct musical language and clear textual setting make it an accessible yet moving choice for a choir seeking a devotional Latin motet.
