About Dum transisset (third setting)
Christopher Tye was a significant English composer of the Tudor period, known for his sacred music. This setting of the Easter responsory text Dum transisset Sabbatum is presented here for SATBB or SATBarB voices in Latin. The text describes Mary Magdalene and other women coming to the tomb with spices to anoint Jesus, early in the morning after the Sabbath. Tye's music vividly portrays the solemnity and dawning realization of the event, building towards the triumphant 'Alleluia' and the traditional 'Gloria Patri'.
