Christus factus est a Minor

Sing this motet during Lent, Holy Week or the Paschal Triduum, when the Church meditates on Christ's suffering and exaltation. Andrea Basili's Christus factus est is a powerful setting for SATB voices of a text drawn from the Roman liturgy, depicting Christ's obedience unto death on the cross. The composer emphasizes the solemnity and gravitas of the moment, culminating in the triumphant proclamation that God has exalted Christ and given him a name above all names. This Latin motet offers a profound musical reflection on themes of sacrifice, humility, and divine reward, making it a compelling choice for liturgical use or concert programming.
