Hoc enim sentite in vobis by Giaches de Wert — Lyrics
Hoc enim sentite in vobis, quod et in Christo Iesu:
qui cum in forma Dei esset, non rapinam arbitratus est esse se æqualem Deo:
sed semet ipsum exinanivit formam servi accipiens, in similitudinem hominum factus, et habitu inventus ut homo.
Humiliavit semet ipsum factus obediens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis.

About Hoc enim sentite in vobis
Giaches de Wert's Hoc enim sentite in vobis draws its text from Philippians 2:5-11, a passage of profound theological significance. The words speak of Christ's humility, his willing obedience even unto death on the cross, and his subsequent exaltation by God. This sacred motet for SATTB voices masterfully conveys the gravity and grandeur of this scripture. The rich texture of the six-part writing allows for a full exploration of the text's meaning, from the depth of Christ's self-emptying to the universal acknowledgment of his Lordship. Wert's setting likely serves as a powerful devotional piece, suitable for a contemplative liturgical moment.
