Christus factus est II

These profound words, taken from Philippians 2:8-9, speak of Christ's obedience unto death upon the cross. The composer Mariano Garau sets this text for SABB choir, capturing the solemnity and ultimate exaltation of the passage. The music follows the Latin text which describes Christ becoming obedient for us, even to the point of death. The text continues by stating that for this reason, God has highly exalted him and given him the name above every name. This sacred motet is a powerful setting suitable for liturgical use or concert programming.
