About Cum autem descendisset
Agostino Bendinelli's motet Cum autem descendisset is a powerful setting for double choir (SATTB) of a passage from the Gospel of Matthew. The text recounts the healing of a leper, a dramatic moment of faith and divine power. The composer uses the full forces of the two choirs to emphasize the pleading of the leper and the benevolent response of Jesus. This sacred work is representative of the rich tradition of polyphony composed for the Latin liturgy, offering a profound musical interpretation of a key Gospel narrative. Its grand scale and expressive harmonic language make it a compelling choice for performance.
