About Factus est repente
Jacob Meiland’s motet Factus est repente sets a powerful biblical scene describing the sudden arrival of the Holy Spirit. The Latin text narrates the miraculous sound from heaven, like a mighty wind, filling the place where the disciples were gathered. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, proclaiming the mighty works of God. Meiland’s setting for SSATB voices captures the dramatic impact of this event, with its Alleluia refrains adding a jubilant affirmation. This sacred motet is a compelling expression of Pentecostal fervor, ideal for a choir seeking to convey spiritual energy and divine inspiration through rich choral textures.
