Dicit Andreas

This motet by Nobuaki Izawa for SATB choir is set to a Latin text drawn from the Gospel of John. The words, spoken by Andrew to his brother Simon Peter, announce the discovery of the Messiah. The text is typically used as a Communion antiphon. Izawa’s setting uses the sacred text to explore a moment of profound spiritual revelation. The composer’s approach to this familiar passage offers a contemporary perspective on a traditional biblical narrative, making it suitable for liturgical settings or concert programmes seeking a modern take on sacred choral repertoire.
