Amen dico vobis

Orlando di Lasso sets words from the Gospel of John, where Jesus speaks of the power of his message. The text promises eternal life to those who hear his word and believe in God. This SATB motet for mixed voices brings these profound words to life with Lasso's characteristic blend of textual clarity and expressive harmony. The Latin text, suitable for sacred occasions, offers a message of hope and spiritual transformation, moving from the shadow of death to the light of everlasting life. Lasso's mastery in conveying the text's gravitas and its comforting assurance is evident throughout this motet.
