About Ascendo ad Patrem meum
Ascendo ad Patrem meum is a sacred motet for SATTB choir by Alexander Utendal, written in Latin. Its text draws from the Gospel of John, speaking of Christ's ascension to the Father and the promise of the Paraclete's coming. The music would be highly appropriate for services during the Easter season or for feast days celebrating Christ's ascension and the Holy Spirit. Utendal's setting offers rich polyphonic possibilities for a capable choir, exploring the solemnity and hopeful expectation of the text through its SATTB voicing. The composer masterfully conveys the theological significance of Christ's departure and the subsequent gift of the Comforter.
