In illo tempore dixit Jesus by Cristóbal de Morales — Lyrics
In illo tempore dixit Iesus discipulis suis:
'Nolite timere pusillus grex,
quia complacuit patri vestro dare vobis regnum.
Vendite, quae possidetis,
et date elemosynam.

About In illo tempore dixit Jesus
Cristóbal de Morales's motet In illo tempore dixit Jesus is suitable for services during Ordinary Time or for a general sacred occasion. This SATB setting is a setting of Gospel verses from Luke's Gospel, which Jesus addresses to his disciples. The text is an instruction on detachment from worldly possessions, encouraging generosity and focusing on heavenly treasures. Morales, a leading composer of the Spanish Renaissance, crafts this motet with rich polyphony, bringing out the devotional and pastoral nature of the scripture. The Latin text is handled with clarity, allowing the message of faith and trust in God's providence to shine through. It is a profound musical reflection on spiritual values.
