About Christus factus est
This ancient Gregorian chant setting of Christus factus est is for unison voices. The Latin text is drawn from Philippians 2:8-9, describing Christ's obedience unto death on the cross. The chant continues with a verse from Philippians 2:9, proclaiming that on account of this sacrifice, God exalted Christ and gave him the name above all names. As a responsorial psalm, its structure typically involves a soloist singing the verses and the choir responding. This piece offers a profound musical reflection on the Paschal mystery, suitable for liturgical services during Holy Week and Easter.
