ἄρατε τὸν ζυγόν μου ἐφ’ ὑμᾶς καὶ
Μάθετε ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ,

About Alleluia, venite ad me
Johannes de Cleve's setting of Alleluia, venite ad me is a sacred motet for SATB voices. The text draws from the Gospel of Matthew, featuring a Greek opening followed by Latin. It is an invitation from Christ to all who are weary and burdened, promising rest. The composer emphasizes Christ's gentleness and humility, offering solace and a light burden to those who seek it. The motet's structure likely reflects the profound spiritual message of the text, making it a powerful testament to faith and comfort.
