About In diebus illis
Michele Varotto’s In diebus illis sets a passage from the Gospel of Luke, depicting the encounter between Jesus and the sinful woman in the house of Simon the Pharisee. The text is sung in Latin and the SATTB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures as the music unfolds the narrative. Varotto’s setting emphasizes the dramatic and emotional core of the scripture. The interplay between the vocal lines builds to moments of intensity, mirroring the devotion and penitence expressed by the woman as she anoints Jesus' feet. This sacred motet offers a powerful musical interpretation of a pivotal biblical moment.
