Ego Enim Accepi

A powerful setting of a passage from the Last Supper narrative, Ego Enim Accepi would be most appropriate for Maundy Thursday or any liturgical occasion focusing on the institution of the Eucharist. Francisco López Capillas, a prominent composer of New Spanish Baroque music, crafts this SAATBB work in Latin. The text, concerning Christ’s offering of his body and the command to commemorate him, is treated with solemnity and reverence. The rich vocal texture afforded by the six parts allows for a grand and profound musical setting, ideal for a choir seeking to explore significant sacred repertoire from the colonial Americas.
