Christus surrexit mala nostra texit

Christus surrexit, mala nostra texit, et quos hic dilexit, hos ad coelos vexit. Kyrie eleison. This rousing Latin motet for ATBB voices celebrates Christ's resurrection. The text declares that Christ's rising has covered our sins and carried those He loved to heaven, before ending with the plea 'Lord, have mercy'. The anonymous composer has crafted a jubilant and affirmative setting, suitable for a variety of sacred occasions. Its straightforward declaration of faith makes it an accessible and powerful choice for a choir seeking a piece that combines theological depth with musical energy.
