Dixit Jesus discipulis

This devotional SATB motet sets a passage from the Gospels concerning Jesus's post-Resurrection meal with his disciples. The words, taken from John 21, describe Jesus inviting them to eat with him, taking bread, and giving it to them. It is suitable for use during the Easter season or as a communion hymn. The Latin text, drawing on a moment of intimate fellowship and divine sustenance, is treated with a rich and reflective musical setting. Nobuaki Izawa's composition offers a devotional focus, enhancing the scriptural narrative through its sacred choral idiom.
