Jesum omnes agnoscite

This sacred motet by Tomaso Cecchino is suitable for use within the church's liturgical calendar. Set for SATTB choir, it is written in Latin. The text, presented here in its original language, speaks of seeking and finding Jesus, describing the love of God's son as a blessed fire and a sweet comfort. The composer urges the singers and listeners to know Jesus, to ask for his love, to seek him ardently, and to burn with desire as they search. This motet offers rich harmonic and contrapuntal opportunities for a capable choir, exploring the devotional theme with passionate intensity.
