Haec est vita

These words, "This is eternal life, to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent," come from the Gospel of John. This anonymous setting for three tenors uses the sacred Latin text to create a profound devotional experience. As a canon, the piece builds intricate musical lines from a single melodic idea, weaving together a rich sonic fabric that reflects the theological depth of the text. The repetitive nature of the canon encourages contemplation and a meditative engagement with the message of eternal knowledge and divine connection.
