About Dum transisset sabbatum
This responsory by John Mundy is perfect for Eastertide, recalling the women who visited Jesus' tomb early on the first Easter morning. The text describes their purchase of spices to anoint his body, their journey to the monument as the sun rose, and concludes with the Trinitarian doxology. Mundy’s setting for SATTBB or SATBarBB voices weaves the Latin text into flowing polyphony. The carefully constructed vocal lines and rich harmonies imbue the sacred narrative with a sense of devotional reflection, suitable for liturgical settings or concert programmes seeking profound sacred repertoire.
