About Crux fidelis
This moving motet for SATB choir sets a Latin text exalting the True Cross. The words speak of the Cross as a noble tree, unmatched in leaf, flower, and fruit, and describe its wood and the nails as sweet, for the weight it bore. Oscar Santos’s setting of this devotional text is a worthy addition to sacred choral repertoire, suitable for reflection during Lent or Holy Week, or as a solemn motet at other times of the liturgical year. The rich harmonies and flowing melodic lines of the SATB parts will resonate with the contemplative nature of the text, offering a powerful musical expression of faith and reverence.
