Ecce quomodo moritur justus

This responsory by Orlando di Lasso is often sung in the season of Holy Week, particularly on Maundy Thursday. The SATB choir sings in Latin, setting a text that reflects on the death of the righteous. The words describe a just person being taken from the world, and the text meditates on their peaceful memory, comparing their silent suffering to a lamb before its shearer. The music is intended to convey the solemnity and pathos of the subject matter, offering a moment of reflection on sacrifice and remembrance for the choir and congregation.
