About Hodie completi sunt a 8, Ch. 57
Giovanni Gabrieli’s Hodie completi sunt is a resplendent motet for double choir (SATB.SATB), sung in Latin. Its jubilant Latin text, drawn from the liturgy, celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, recounting the apostles receiving the gift of tongues and being sent out to preach the Gospel. The music mirrors this celebratory and mission-focused message through its grand, polychoral texture, creating a rich sonic dialogue between the two choirs. Gabrieli masterfully employs this spatial separation to build dramatic climaxes and convey the expansive reach of the apostles' commission, making it a powerful and engaging sacred work.
