Adoramus te, Christe (Monteverdi) - from CDA67519 - Hyperion Records

Track(s) taken from CDA67519

Like ‘Domine, ne in furore tuo’, this exquisite six-voice motet was one of Monteverdi’s contributions to Bianchi’s first book of motets of 1620. Its text appears to be a variant of ‘Christe, adoramus te’, set for five voices in the same book (and recorded on volume 3 of this series). ‘Christe, adoramus te’ appears as part of the Hours of the Cross in devotional Books of Hours. The source of this variant text is as yet untraced.
