About Gustate et videte
Nobuaki Izawa's Gustate et videte is a setting for SATB choir of a Latin text drawn from the Psalms. The motet belongs to the tradition of sacred music for the liturgy, specifically for communion. The text, which translates as 'Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who hopes in him', speaks of God's bounty and the blessings of those who trust in the Lord. The composer uses the rich texture of four-part harmony to convey the devotional message, offering a contemplative moment for the choir and congregation during the eucharistic rite.
