Composer: Alessandro Striggio

Number of voices: 40vv  Voicing: 5 choirs × SATB–SATB
Genre: Sacred, Motet

Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text Ecce beatam lucem;
Ecce bonum sempiternum,
Vos turba electa celebrate Jehovam eiusque natum
aequalem Patri deitatis splendorem.
Virtus Alma et maiestas
passim cernenda ad est.
Quantum decoris illustri in sole,
quam venusta es luna,
quam multo clar'honore sidera fulgent,
quam pulcra quaeque in orbe.
O quam perennis esca
tam sanctas mentes pascit!
praesto gratia et amor, praesta nec novum;
praesto est fons perpes vitae.
Hic Patriarchae cum Prophetis, hic David,
Rex David ille vates,
cantans sonans adhuc aeternum Deum.
O mel et dulce nectar, O fortunatum sedem!
Haec voluptas, haec quies, haec meta hic scopus
Nos hinc attrahunt recta in paradisum.
