Ego sum pastor bonus

This SATB setting of Ego sum pastor bonus would be appropriate for a Communion setting, particularly during the Easter season. Reager sets the Latin text, which is drawn from the Gospel of John, with a directness that suits the words. The composer's skill is evident in his clear musical depiction of the text's meaning: 'I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep, and my sheep know me.' The simple yet effective alleluias add a joyful dimension to this sacred motet. This piece offers a rewarding opportunity for choirs looking to expand their repertoire of unaccompanied sacred music.
