About Cum transisset
Joseph Furmanik's setting of the Easter responsory Cum transisset sabbatum for SATB choir sets a familiar Latin text that describes the women who came to the tomb of Jesus with spices. The music reflects the solemnity and joy of the Easter message. The text, a traditional liturgical antiphon, recounts the discovery of the empty tomb and the resurrection, culminating in the triumphant Alleluja and the Gloria Patri. This piece offers a profound opportunity for expressive choral singing, drawing upon the rich tradition of sacred music for the Easter season.
