Cum turba plurima by Agostino Bendinelli — Lyrics
4. Cum autem turba plurima convenirent, et de civitatibus properarent ad eum, dixit per similitudinem:
5. Exiit qui sementem faciebat ad seminandum semen suum. Et inter seminandum aliud cecidit circa viam, et conculcatum est, et volucres coeli comederunt illud;
6. Et aliud cecidit supra petram, et enatum exaruit, quia non habebat humorem;

About Cum turba plurima
This setting of a passage from Luke's Gospel, depicting Jesus's parable of the Sower, is by Agostino Bendinelli. Sung in Latin, its five-part SATTB voicing offers rich opportunities for dramatic expression. Bendinelli captures the narrative flow of the text, from the thronging crowds gathering to hear Jesus speak to the varying fortunes of the seed sown. The motet is suited to occasions when the liturgical calendar calls for Gospel readings, offering a profound musical reflection on divine word and human reception.
