About In odorem unguentorum
The motet In odorem unguentorum by Jan Tollius is a sacred work for SSATT choir. The Latin text expresses a devotional longing, a soul running towards God, drawn by the fragrance of His ointments. It speaks of loving and desiring to see the Lord's face, and a plea not to be confounded but to be treated with mercy. The composer's setting would have been for a professional or highly skilled church choir. This piece, written in the tradition of Renaissance motet composition, offers a rich and intimate devotional experience.
