Ego sum resurrectio

Diogo Dias Melgás, a significant Portuguese composer of the late Baroque era, wrote this powerful SATB motet. Ego sum resurrectio is set to a Latin text drawn from the Gospel of John, offering a profound reflection on Christ's declaration as the resurrection and the life. The composer vividly illustrates the message of eternal life for those who believe, even in the face of death. Melgás's skill in conveying the solemnity and hopeful assurance of the text is evident in this work, making it a stirring choice for sacred choral repertoire. Its robust scoring for four-part choir ensures a rich and resonant performance.
