Cognoverunt discipuli Dominum

The disciples recognised their Lord in the breaking of bread. This Latin motet for double choir (SATB.SATB) by Lodovico Casali sets this Easter Gospel text, celebrating the disciples' joyful return to the gathered community with the news of the Resurrection. The text moves from quiet recognition to exultant proclamation, culminating in a resounding Alleluia. Casali’s setting would have been intended for sacred services, likely within the Catholic tradition, and its double choir writing offers rich harmonic and contrapuntal possibilities for a choir seeking substantial and spiritually uplifting repertoire.
