About Cum luce prima Sabathi I
André Vierendeels's Cum luce prima Sabathi I is a sacred setting in Latin for SATB choir. The text, opening "Cum luce prima Sabathi...", speaks of the three women who approached the tomb at first light on the Sabbath, with the rising sun and fragrant anointing oils. The composer captures the sacred atmosphere of this Easter morning event, with its joyful Alleluia refrain. This hymn-like composition is suitable for liturgical use or concert programming, offering a moment of profound reflection on the Resurrection.
