Eram quasi agnus ínnocens by Pomponio Nenna — Lyrics
Eram quasi agnus innocens:
ductus sum ad immolandum, et nesciebam:
consilium fecerunt inimici mei adversum me, dicentes:
Venite, mittamus lignum in panem ejus,
et eradamus eum de terra viventium.

About Eram quasi agnus ínnocens
The composer's words are those of Christ in suffering, betrayed and condemned. The SATB choir is called to express the sorrow and injustice of these words, beginning with the imagery of an innocent lamb led to sacrifice. The Latin text, a responsory, paints a scene of betrayal and conspiracy, as enemies plot against the innocent one. The music reflects the gravity of this lament, with the voices weaving together to convey the profound emotional weight of the text. It is a powerful meditation on betrayal and sacrifice, suitable for reflective moments within a sacred setting.
