About Christus factus est
The words of this motet, Christus factus est, express the profound obedience of Christ, even unto death on the cross. The text continues by affirming that on account of this, God has exalted Him and given Him a name above all names. Emerico Lobo de Mesquita sets this powerful liturgical text for SATB choir in Latin. As a sacred motet, the piece is designed for use in a liturgical setting, drawing on the rich tradition of choral music within the church. The composer’s setting of this biblical passage would have served to deepen the spiritual contemplation of the text for the congregation and choir alike.
