Desidero mi Jesu

This motet for SATB voices sets a devotional Latin text, likely intended for a sacred occasion. The music opens with a homophonic texture, giving immediate clarity to the devotional plea. The composer expresses a deep longing for spiritual nourishment, seeking to receive the 'divine feast' worthily. The text reflects on this sacred food and drink as sustenance for the soul, a source of grace during life and a pledge of future glory in times of trial. The traditional nature of the work suggests a profound connection to established liturgical practice.
