Ego sum resurrectio et vita

These words from the Gospel of John speak of Jesus as the resurrection and the life, promising eternal life to all who believe in him. Orlando di Lasso sets this comforting message in a rich three-part texture for STB voices. The Latin text, a profound statement of faith, is rendered with clarity and devotion, characteristic of Lasso's mastery of sacred motets. The composer’s sensitivity to the text ensures that the music vividly conveys the assurance and hope found within these powerful words. This setting is ideal for choirs seeking to explore the devotional music of the Renaissance.
