Hodie completi sunt dies Pentecostes a 7

The text paints a vivid scene of Pentecost, describing the completion of the days and the miraculous appearance of the Holy Spirit to the disciples in fire. It recounts how the Spirit bestowed the gifts of charismata and sent them out into the world to preach and testify, promising salvation to believers. Tiburtio Massaino’s motet captures this momentous event for SSAATTB choir. The Latin text, drawn from scripture, speaks of divine empowerment and the call to evangelize, making for a powerful and resonant choral setting that would lend gravitas to any sacred service or concert program.
