Eram quasi agnus innocens

The Latin text expresses the profound sorrow and betrayal of an innocent lamb led to the slaughter, unaware of the malicious plot hatched against it. The enemies conspire to destroy the lamb from the land of the living, their wicked words and evil thoughts relentlessly pursuing it. Jeffrey Quick sets this poignant imagery for SATB choir, creating a powerful sacred motet that explores themes of persecution and sacrifice. The music will surely resonate with the dramatic narrative of the text, offering a moving experience for both singers and listeners alike. This setting is a fitting choice for services or concerts contemplating themes of faith and tribulation.
