About Ecce nunc tempus
This bright and uplifting setting of the offertory text for Septuagesima Sunday and Lent comes from Samuel Webbe. Written for two-part choir (SA), it is suitable for any time of penitence and reflection in the church's year. The Latin words speak of the acceptable time and the day of salvation, urging us to present ourselves as servants of God through patience, vigils, fastings, and sincere charity. Webbe's engaging melody, harmonised with clear and accessible parts, makes this an ideal choice for choirs seeking a rewarding and edifying anthem for the Lenten season.
