About Christus factus est
Carlotta Ferrari sets a powerful liturgical text for SATB choir in this motet, Christus factus est. The Latin words express the obedience of Christ unto death, even the death of the cross. The composer responds with music that mirrors the profound humility and ultimate exaltation of the subject. The central verses of the text, declaring that God has therefore exalted Him and given Him a name above all names, are set with rich harmonic language and soaring melodic lines. This is a moving and substantial work, suitable for services during Holy Week or for general motet repertoire, offering a compelling musical meditation on the central mystery of the Christian faith.
