    Hello all, I'm looking for suggestions for a motet for the Sacred Heart...either SSA or SAA or three equal women's parts.
    In Latin, please, preferably without accompaniment.
    Suggestions?

    Thanks!

    How about Palestrina's Tua Jesu Dilectio?

    Francis,
    Any text suitable for that feast. If it could be clearly something "Cor Jesu" that would be awesome, but anything referring to his wounds, his mercy, blood/water, etc would be great too. It will be sung after the Offertory chant that day. It could, I suppose, be in more than 3 parts too, as I will have about 15 young women that day, several of whom can hold their own.
    In that 2-part Rossini collection there is a motet "O Cor Jesu" that I am leaning towards, but I would prefer something totally a cappella, and more parts. (Yes! More parts! Isn't that awesome?)
    Thanks!
