In illo tempore assumpsit Jesus Petrum

This sacred motet for SATB voices sets a passage from the Gospels describing the Transfiguration of Christ. Joannes de Latre masterfully crafts the musical setting, beginning with the interplay of the voices as they depict the scene. The music reflects the awe and wonder of the disciples as Jesus is transfigured before them, with his face shining like the sun and his garments becoming white as snow. The motet captures the dramatic moment of Moses and Elijah appearing, and Peter's eager, if misguided, suggestion to build tabernacles. The arrival of the luminous cloud and the divine voice proclaiming Jesus as God's beloved son are powerfully conveyed, culminating in the disciples' fear and Jesus's comforting presence. This setting offers a profound musical interpretation of a pivotal biblical event.
