About Gustate et videte
The words of this motet are drawn from Psalm 34, traditionally associated with communion. They invite the listener to taste and see that the Lord is good, offering a blessing to those who trust in Him. The text continues by reminding the faithful to fear the Lord, for those who do lack nothing, while the rich may hunger, those who seek the Lord will not be deprived of any good. Giovanni Matteo Asola's setting is crafted for a varied choral ensemble, suitable for TTB, SATB, and SAB choirs, allowing for flexibility in programming. Its Latin text firmly places it within the sacred motet tradition, offering a reflective piece for liturgical settings.
