About Fratres ego enim accepi
François Roussel’s motet Fratres ego enim accepi is a profound setting of the words spoken by Christ at the Last Supper, taken from St Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians. This sacred Latin text, describing the institution of the Eucharist, is brought to life by Roussel for SATB choir. The music explores the solemnity and weight of Christ’s sacrifice, making it a fitting choice for services during Holy Week, or for any occasion where the central act of Christian faith is commemorated. The motet offers a powerful opportunity for choral expression, focusing on the profound meaning of communion.
