About Christus factus est
Pompeo Cannicciari's Christus factus est is a motet for SATB choir setting a Latin text drawn from the liturgy. The composer draws on the tradition of sacred polyphony to set the words "Christ became obedient for us unto death, even death on a cross." The text continues with a verse from Philippians, "Therefore God exalted him and gave him the name which is above all names." The music explores the profound humility and subsequent exaltation described in the text, offering a rich and devotional setting suitable for liturgical occasions.
