Huc o sideream by Lambert Pietkin — Lyrics
Huc ô sydeream cœlites buccinam, huc ô Davidicam pastores fistulam,
pastores fistulis cœlites buccinis amoris inclytas cantent victorias,
amor ætheream corripit pharetram, arcu aggreditur omnipotentiam,
sessorem Cherubim in animalium confixum spiculis jecit præsepium.
Tum Dei surripit fulmen e dextera et sceptrum corripit quo regit omnia,
qui via lacte a cinxerat æthera captivum tenera detinet fascia,
mox ponit terminum tibi immensitas dat et principium tibi
æternitas te cogit perpeti impassibilitas te docet e mori:
ô immortalitas, ignis æthereus jam riget frigore indigent pauperes cœli divitiæ,

About Huc o sideream
Lambert Pietkin's motet Huc ô sideream is a sacred work for SATB choir, sung in Latin. The text speaks of the Virgin Mary and the Nativity, depicting divine power being overcome by love, as God is born into human frailty. It describes the immense, eternal, and impassible nature of God being humbled, with heavenly riches and the bread of life suffering hunger and thirst. Pietkin's setting would suit a choir looking for rich, devotional Latin motets from the post-Renaissance era.
