LYRICS:
Duo Seraphim clamabant alter ad alterum:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus
Sabaoth:
Plena est omnis terra gloria eius.
Tres sunt qui testimonium dant in caelo:
Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus Sanctus et hi
tres unum sunt.
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus
Sabaoth:
Plena est omnis terra gloria eius.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto:
Plena est omnis terra gloria eius. Amen.
Two seraphim cried one to the other:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth:
The whole earth is filled with his glory.
There are three who give this testimony in
heaven:
The Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit,
and these three are one.
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth:
The whole earth is filled with his glory.
Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit:
The whole earth is filled with his glory.Amen.
(Respond, 3rd Nocturn at Matins on Trinity Sunday; from Isaiah 6, v.3)
Duo Seraphim
Among Guerrero's 150 or so published motets, 'Duo Seraphim' is one of the most resplendent, imaginatively exploiting the spatial and illustrative possibilities suggested by the text, with duets, a trio and the full choirs used at the appropriate points.
A Banquet of Voices
This recording is a celebration, and an exploration of some of the great wealth of choral music written for multiple choirs.
John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1981) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
