De tenebris by Jens Klimek — Lyrics
Tenebrae tantum absentia lucis est.
Lucem comprehendere sed non tenebras.
About De tenebris
Jens Klimek's De tenebris is a sacred motet for SATB choir, sung in Latin. The text explores the concept of darkness as the mere absence of light, contrasting it with the comprehensible nature of light itself. Klimek's setting captures this philosophical reflection with a musical texture that likely enhances the textual meaning. This motet offers a thought-provoking musical experience, suitable for choirs looking to program challenging and intellectually engaging sacred repertoire. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic possibilities to underscore the text's profound message.
