Ego sum resurrectio by Hans Leo Hassler — Lyrics
About Ego sum resurrectio
Hans Leo Hassler's Ego sum resurrectio is a profound setting of a deeply spiritual Latin text drawn from the Gospel of John. The music is crafted for a substantial choir, combining ATBB and SATB voicings to create a rich and resonant sound. Hassler masterfully weaves these vocal lines together, building textures that reflect the solemnity and promise of the words. The motet speaks directly to the Christian belief in resurrection and eternal life, with the composer's contrapuntal skill and harmonic richness underscoring the theological weight of the message. It offers a powerful and moving experience, suitable for services or concerts where a statement of faith is desired.
