Haec est vita aeterna by Jacob Meiland — Lyrics
About Haec est vita aeterna
This powerful motet by Jacob Meiland is ideal for services during the Easter season or any occasion focusing on the nature of eternal life. Scored for SSATB voices, Haec est vita aeterna sets a profound passage from the Gospel of John, speaking of knowing the one true God and Jesus Christ as the path to eternal life. Meiland’s music masterfully reflects the solemnity and deep theological meaning of the Latin text. The rich five-part harmony provides ample opportunity for expressive interpretation, creating a moving and spiritually resonant experience for both singers and listeners. Its careful construction makes it a compelling addition to the sacred choral repertoire.
