Assumpsit Jesus Petrum by Anonymous — Lyrics

Assumpsit Jesus Petrum et Jacobum et Johannem fratrem eius in montem excelsum seorsum et duxit eos in montem excelsum et transfiguratus est ante eos. Resplenduit facies eius sicut sol vestimenta autem eius facta sunt alba sicut nix. Alleluia.

About Assumpsit Jesus Petrum

This anonymous setting of a Gospel text from the Transfiguration of Christ is a sacred motet for SATB choir. The Latin text recounts Jesus taking Peter, James, and John up a high mountain, where he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as snow. Moses and Elijah appeared, speaking with Jesus. Peter, overwhelmed, suggested building three tents. The music likely reflects the solemnity and wonder of this biblical event, offering a rich choral experience that emphasizes the glory of the transfigured Christ.
