L’ineffabil bontà del Redentore by Cipriano de Rore — Lyrics
L’ineffabil bontà del Redentore,
de’ tuoi principi il senno e la iustizia,
sempre con pace, sempre con amore
ti tenga in abondanzia et in letizia;

About L’ineffabil bontà del Redentore
Cipriano de Rore’s L’ineffabil bontà del Redentore is a striking example of Renaissance secular part-music for voices. Composed for SATTB, the work explores rich harmonic textures, with the upper voices often engaging in imitative dialogue against a supportive lower foundation. The Italian text is a devotional sonnet, offering praise and blessings to the Redeemer, and the composer’s setting emphasizes the heartfelt and earnest nature of these sentiments. De Rore masterfully balances polyphonic complexity with clear declamation of the text, creating a moving and engaging musical experience that reflects the profound spiritual devotion of its subject matter.
