Coenantibus autem illis

As Jesus dines with his disciples, he takes bread, blesses it, breaks it and gives it to them, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Juan de Lienas sets this profound Gospel moment in a rich SATB setting. The Latin text, drawn from the New Testament, forms the basis of this sacred motet. Lienas's music captures the solemnity and significance of the Last Supper, offering a contemplative musical reflection on the institution of the Eucharist. This piece is a powerful example of sacred polyphony, suitable for services or concerts focusing on the sacrament.
