In omnem terram by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina — Lyrics
About In omnem terram
This magnificent SATTB setting of the Latin Offertory text, In omnem terram, is by the Renaissance master Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. The words, proclaiming that the sound and words of the Apostles have gone out into all the earth, are treated with Palestrina's characteristic clarity and expressive melodic lines. This sacred motet is ideal for use in services, particularly during the Easter season or feasts of Apostles. Its rich harmonies and contrapuntal texture make it a rewarding challenge for an accomplished choir, offering a powerful and resonant musical experience that echoes the profound message of the text.
