Assumens Iesus Petrum by Philippe Duc — Lyrics
Assumens Iesus Petrum et Iacobum et Iohannem fratrem eius.
Transfiguratus est ante eos
et resplenduit facies eius sicut sol,
et vestimenta eius facta sunt alba sicut nix.

About Assumens Iesus Petrum
This sacred motet for SATB voices sets a Latin text of the Transfiguration of Jesus. The music would be appropriate for services during the season of Epiphany or Transfiguration. The composer’s setting vividly portrays the unfolding narrative from the appearance of Moses and Elijah to the divine voice proclaiming Jesus as the beloved Son. The composer's skill in setting this biblical passage to music highlights the awe and majesty of the event, making it a powerful addition to a choir's liturgical repertoire.
