Infirmata vulnerata performed by Gérard Lesne and Il Seminario musicale [listen to the entire motet]
Totus amore languens performed by Gérard Lesne, Véronique Gens and Il Seminario musicale [listen to the entire motet]
Totus amore languens, totus ardore succensus, erga altaris sacramentum, fidelis animus ardebat et in extasim raptus, sic dicebat: [listen]
O care, o dulcis amor, quomodo mutatus es mihi in crudelem, quem numquam agnovisti infidelem? [listen]
Semper gratus, desiderabilis, semper eris in me. Veni, o care, totus amabilis, in aeternum diligam te. [listen]
De tenebroso lacu de carcere profundo ad nos suspirant animae purgantes. Levate ergo fideles, levate ergo tam luctuosum fletum, levate ergo tam rigidum tormentum. [listen]
Derelecti nos exorant cari amici, mei parentes, iam languentes confortate et auxilium implorant, semper fervide dicentes divas flammas mitigate. [listen]
Elemosinas date ac operibus sanctis placate Dei furorem et aquis lacrimarum extinguite voragines flammarum. [listen]
Si Fenices sunt ardentes sic a sorde mundate erunt gemine lucentes coram Christi maiestate. [listen]
Ergo in tam gravi supplicio nullum erit, nulla pietas! Adsint chari fideles utque mitigentur pugnae atroces Purgatoris renoventur voces. [listen]
De profundis nos clamamus, maestas voces renovamus suspirantes et plangentes, nunc suffragia benigne imploramus ah hoc igne ehu miserae dolentes. [listen]
Totus amore languens performed by Gérard Lesne, Véronique Gens and Il Seminario musicale [listen to the entire motet]
Totus amore languens, totus ardore succensus, erga altaris sacramentum, fidelis animus ardebat et in extasim raptus, sic dicebat: [listen]
Quid hoc coelesti ardore delectabilius? Quid suavius? Non mannae dulcedo, non lactis pinguedo, non favus, non mei. [listen]
Ite procul o dapes mundanae. Ite vanae, vos non quero, non cupio vestra gaudia, foris amena, intus poena, cibus vester non satiat."
Eia ergo, o anima mea, ad haec incendia divina semper ardens, semper spirans curre propera festina. [listen]
