Notes on the piece

A motet by Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548–1611) on the passage of Isaiah 6: two seraphim call to each other crying “Holy”. The writing imitates that dialogue between the voices.

Original text · Latin

Duo Seraphim, clamabant alter ad alterum:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Dominus Deus Sabaoth
Plena est omnis terra gloria eius
Tres sunt qui testimonium dant in coelo:
Pater, Verbum et Spiritus Sanctus
Et hi tres unum sunt
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Dominus Deus Sabaoth
Plena est omnis terra gloria eius
