Dominus Jesus in qua nocte tradebatur by Jacob Handl — Lyrics
Dominus Jesus in qua nocte tradebatur,
accepit panem et gratias agens
fregit et dixit:
Accipite et manducate,
hoc est corpus meum,
quod pro vobis tradetur;

About Dominus Jesus in qua nocte tradebatur
Jacob Handl's motet Dominus Jesus in qua nocte tradebatur is a sacred work for double SATB choir, sung in Latin. It sets the words from the Gospels describing the institution of the Eucharist. The text begins with Jesus at the Last Supper, taking bread, giving thanks, breaking it, and saying, "This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in remembrance of me." He then takes the cup, saying, "This cup is the new testament in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." Handl's setting masterfully conveys the solemnity and profound significance of these words, using the richness of the eight-part choir to create a powerful and moving experience.
