Jerusalem, Gaude Gaudio magno by Gierolamo Lambardi — Lyrics
Jerusalem, gaude gaudio magno,
quia veniet tibi salvator.
Alleluia.
Dabo in Sion salutem,
et in Jerusalem gloriam meam.
Alleluia.
Montes et colles humiliabuntur
et erunt prava in directa

About Jerusalem, Gaude Gaudio magno
This sacred antiphon, Jerusalem, Gaude Gaudio magno, is ideal for Advent, reflecting the anticipation of Christ’s coming. The text rejoices in the salvation that will come to Jerusalem, proclaiming "Alleluia" with great joy. It speaks of the leveling of mountains and hills, and the making of crooked paths straight, signifying the preparations for the Lord's arrival. The SATB voicing by Gierolamo Lambardi offers a rich harmonic setting for these hopeful and expectant words. The choir is urged to live justly and piously, awaiting the blessed hope and the advent of our Lord. This piece would serve powerfully in a liturgical setting during the Advent season, building spiritual fervor towards Christmas.
