General Information
Title: Ecce beatam lucem
Composer: Alessandro Striggio
Number of voices: 40vv Voicing: 5 choirs × SATB–SATB
Genre: Sacred, Motet
Language: Latin
Instruments: full instrumental accompaniment; or basso continuo; or may be performed a capella.
Description: One of two extant 40–part motets dating from the 16th Century, the other being Thomas Tallis' Spem in alium. This motet had variously been described as being composed of 4 choirs (of varying sizes between 6 and 16 voices), or 10 choirs of 4 voices; however, it shares identical voicing with Striggio's 40-voice Missa sopra Ecco sì beato giorno, which is for five SATB-SATB choirs; unlike the mass, some choir entries include extra voices from adjacent choirs, blurring such clear delineation.
Original text and translations
Latin text
Ecce beatam lucem;
Ecce bonum sempiternum,
Vos turba electa celebrate Jehovam eiusque natum
aequalem Patri deitatis splendorem.
Virtus Alma et maiestas
passim cenend'ad est.
Quantum decoris illustri in sole,
quam venusta es luna,
quam multo clar'honore sidera fulgent,
quam pulcra quaequ'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.
