About De Sancto Spiritu
Christian Hollander's De Sancto Spiritu is a powerful SATTB motet for SATB choir. The Latin text draws directly from the Book of Acts, describing the dramatic descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles. It vividly recounts how they were filled with the Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, proclaiming the mighty works of God. This sacred motet captures the Pentecostal moment with musical intensity, reflecting the awe and wonder of that event. It is a substantial work suitable for services or concerts, offering a rich harmonic and contrapuntal setting of this foundational biblical narrative.
