Ascendo ad Patrem meum

Ludwig Senfl was a Swiss composer of the late Renaissance, a pupil of Isaac. He often set German and Latin texts, contributing significantly to both sacred and secular traditions. Ascendo ad Patrem meum is a sacred motet for SATB choir, sung in Latin. The text, drawn from the Gospel of John, speaks of Christ's ascension to the Father and your Father, my God and your God, underscored by a jubilant Alleluia. Senfl's setting masterfully captures the solemnity and exultation of this pivotal moment in the Christian narrative, offering a profound musical reflection on resurrection and divine connection.
