O quam gloriosum Composed by Tomás Luis de Victoria The Vocal Consort Presents: There Will Come Soft Rains Conducted by: Mr Kane Teo "O quam gloriosum" is a Latin phrase that translates to "O how glorious is the kingdom." Composed around 1572 by the Spanish Renaissance master, Tomás Luis de Victoria, it is a short and powerful piece, typically sung during All Saints' Day celebrations. The music reflects the joy and majesty of the text, with dramatic flourishes and clear vocal lines which express a sense of awe and wonder at the glory of the heavenly kingdom. O quam gloriosum est regnum, In quo cum Christo gaudent omnes Sancti! Amicti stolis albis, Sequuntur Agnum, quocumque ierit. O how glorious is the kingdom In which all the saints rejoice with Christ, Clad in robes of white They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. Facebook:   / tvc.sg   Instagram:   / thevocalconsort
