About Dum transisset sabbatum
This four-part motet in Latin by Jacques Alardy sets a passage from the Gospels describing the women arriving at the tomb of Jesus on Easter morning, bearing spices to anoint his body. The text vividly portrays the dawning of that fateful day, as Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome hurry to the monument after sunrise. Alardy’s setting of Dum transisset sabbatum is a sacred work appropriate for the Easter season or any liturgical occasion celebrating the Resurrection. The rich texture of the ATTB voicing lends itself to expressive, devotional performances.
