General Information

Title: Hodie in monte
Composer: Peter Philips
Lyricist:

Number of voices: 8vv   Voicing: SATB.SATB
Genre: Sacred, Motet for Transfiguration

Language: Latin

First published: 1613 in Cantiones sacrae octonis vocibus, no. 3
Description: No. 3 in Cantiones Sacrae Octonis Vocibus (1613). An organ continuo part was added in the 1625 printing (second edition) but it is fairly clear that organ continuo was not considered integral by Philips. However, it was common to have cornettists and trombonists doubling at least some of the parts. There are no indications of strings doubling.

Original text and translations

Latin text Hodie in monte transfigurato Domino aperti sunt caeli, et vox patris intonuit: Hic est Filius meus dilectus in quo mihi complacui. Intonuit de caelo Dominus et vox patris audita est.

English translation Today he was transfigured on the mountain of the Lord, the heavens were opened, and the voice of the father thundered: “This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I am well pleased.” The LORD thundered from heaven, and the voice of the Father was heard.

German translation Heute, als der Herr auf einem Berg verklärt wurde, da öffnete sich der Himmel und die Stimme des Vaters war zu hören: Dieser ist mein geliebter Sohn, an ihm habe ich mein Gefallen. Der HERR donnerte vom Himmel, und die Stimme des Vaters war zu hören.
