Ante Diem Festum Paschae

This evocative motet is designed for the Paschal season, before the Feast of Easter itself. The Latin text, sung here in four parts for SSAT voices, draws from the Gospel of John, focusing on Jesus's foreknowledge of his imminent passion and his profound love for his disciples, which he demonstrated until the very end. Francisco López Capillas's setting captures the solemnity and deep emotion of this moment. Its liturgical nature makes it a fitting choice for services during Holy Week, offering a moment of reflection on devotion and sacrifice.
