In illo tempore ... non turbetur by Jacquet de Mantua — Lyrics
About In illo tempore ... non turbetur
This impressive motet sets words from the Gospel of John, specifically Jesus's discourse at the Last Supper. It is suitable for Lent or Eastertide and explores themes of faith, divine presence, and the comfort offered by Christ. The text, sung in Latin, moves from Jesus comforting his disciples with the promise of eternal dwelling in his Father's house, to Philip's plea to see the Father, and Jesus's affirmation that seeing him is seeing the Father. Jacquet de Mantua’s setting for ATTTB voices is a substantial and sonorous work, rich in polyphonic texture, offering a profound musical meditation on these key theological statements.
