Ecce nos reliquimus omnia

Maistre Jhan was a notable composer of the French Renaissance, and this sacred motet, Ecce nos reliquimus omnia, showcases his skill in setting Latin texts. Scored for SATB choir, the work takes its inspiration from a passage in the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus reassures his disciples that their sacrifices made for him will be repaid manifold with eternal life. The composer captures the earnest plea of the disciples and the profound promise of Christ in his four-part writing. The motet offers a rich harmonic language suitable for liturgical settings or concert performance, providing a contemplative and deeply spiritual musical experience for both singers and listeners.
