Euntes in mundum universum

Jacob Regnart's Euntes in mundum universum sets the Great Commission from the Gospel of Mark, where Christ instructs his disciples to go forth and teach all nations. The SAAT voicing of this motet lends itself to a rich, resonant sound, ideal for conveying the solemnity and urgency of the text. The Latin lyrics speak of the disciples' subsequent mission, preaching the word with the Lord working with them and confirming it by the signs that followed. Regnart's setting would have been suitable for liturgical use within the Roman Catholic Church, reflecting the sacred nature of the words and their profound theological significance.
