Ego sum resurrectio

Nobuaki Izawa’s SATB setting of Ego sum resurrectio et vita begins with a clear declamation of the text, the voices entering one by one to build a rich texture. The composer immediately establishes a sense of spiritual conviction, the music unfolding with a serene, unwavering confidence. The Latin text, drawn from John 11:25-26, speaks of Christ's resurrection and the promise of eternal life for believers. Izawa’s response is a setting that is both profound and reassuring, the choral writing flowing seamlessly. This motet offers a contemplative setting of a significant biblical passage, suitable for communion or reflection.
