In nomine Jesu

The sacred motet In nomine Jesu by Jacob Handl draws on the powerful words from Philippians 2:10-11, proclaiming that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth. It continues to state that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, in the glory of God the Father, followed by the exultant Alleluia. Handl masterfully crafts this message of ultimate devotion and divine glory for mixed chorus, suitable for double choir settings of SATB and TTBB voices. The Latin text lends itself to a profound and majestic musical setting, ideal for liturgical occasions or concerts where a statement of faith is desired.
