General Information

Title: Pulchrae sunt genae tuae
Composer: Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
Source of lyrics: Song of Solomon 1:10–12

Number of voices: 5vv Voicing: SATTB
Genre: Sacred, Motet

Language: Latin
Instruments: A cappella

First published: 1584 in Canticum Canticorum, no. 6
Description: From Song of Songs / Songs of Solomon - Chapter 1 - Verses 10 through 12.
The use of musica ficta in this piece (just as in many of Palestrina's works, and unlike e.g. in Lasso's pieces) is far from straightforward. Among the recordings of this piece rather differing realisations of musica ficta can be found. This regards primarily - but is not confined to - the B flat/natural in the opening motif (genae tuae), the B flat/natural in the motif Collum tuum.

Original text and translations

Latin text

Pulchrae sunt genae tuae sicut turturis,
collum tuum sicut monilia.
Murenulas aureas faciemus tibi
vermiculatas argento.
Dum esset rex in accubitu suo,
nardus mea dedit odorem suavitatis.

English translation

Thy cheeks are beautiful as the turtledove's,
thy neck as jewels.
We will make thee chains of gold,
inlaid with silver.
While the king was at his repose,
my spikenard sent forth the odour thereof.

Dutch translation

Prachtig zijn je wangen, als van een tortelduif.
Je hals is als een parelsnoer.
Laten wij voor jou kettingen maken van goud
ingelegd met stukjes zilver.
[Zij:]
Zolang de koning op zijn rustbed lag
verspreidde mijn nardusolie zijn lieflijke geur.

Translation by Anton Hendriks, Ben Terstegge & Hanneke Pot
