About Dum transisset Sabbatum
This powerful SSATTB motet by Johannes Wanning sets a significant Easter text in Latin. The music is designed for liturgical occasions, vividly portraying the women arriving at the tomb of Jesus after the Sabbath, bearing spices to anoint his body. The text, a biblical narrative, moves from the somber preparation to the dawning realization of the Resurrection, culminating in the joyous proclamation of the Gloria Patri. Wanning's composition captures the dramatic unfolding of this pivotal moment in the Christian story, making it suitable for services during the Easter season or other significant liturgical celebrations where a profound musical statement is desired.
