Ego vos elegi by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
About Ego vos elegi
The words of this SATB motet are drawn from the Gospel of John, and speak of Christ's choice of his disciples and their calling to bear lasting fruit. The composer Nobuaki Izawa sets this profound message in Latin, a language long associated with sacred music, with the triumphant alleluja underscoring the joy and divine purpose of the text. As a communion hymn, it is particularly suited for the eucharistic liturgy, reflecting on the transformative grace offered in the sacrament. The piece offers a reflective yet uplifting musical setting for a choir seeking to explore devotional repertoire.
