Egressus Jesus by Johannes Wanning — Lyrics
Egressus Jesus de finibus Tyri et Sidonis
et venit ad mare Galilaeae inter medios fines Decapoleos,
et adducunt ei surdum impeditae linguae
et deprecabantur eum ut imponeret illi manum.
Et apprehendens eum de turba seorsum,
misit digitos suos in aures eius
et expuens tetigit linguam eius

About Egressus Jesus
Johannes Wanning sets a passage from the Gospels in this SSATTB motet. The Latin text describes Jesus healing a deaf and mute man near the Sea of Galilee. Wanning's setting captures the narrative arc, from the quiet moment Jesus takes the man aside, to the miraculous healing, and the disciples' astonishment. The rich vocal texture of the choir is employed to convey the power of the miracle and the crowd's reaction. This motet is a profound contemplation of faith and divine intervention, presented with the gravitas appropriate for sacred performance.
