Cum videritis abominationem desolationis
quae dicta est a Daniele propheta
stantem in loco sancto tunc
qui in Judaea est fugiat ad montes.

About Cum videritis abominationem
Georg Otto's motet Cum videritis abominationem is a powerful setting of a Latin biblical text. The music is scored for SSATTB choir, offering rich harmonic possibilities. The text, drawn from the Book of Daniel and the Gospels, speaks of a foreboding sign and the imminent advent of the Lord, urging flight to the mountains. Otto's composition likely reflects the gravity and urgency of these scriptural passages, creating a dramatic and contemplative musical experience for the choir and listeners alike. This sacred motet would be a significant addition to a concert program or a solemn liturgical service.
