In illo tempore egressus Jesus by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina — Lyrics
In illo tempore egressus Jesus
secessit in partes Tyri et Sidonis,
et ecce mulier Chananaea a finibus illis
egressa clamavit dicens ei:
Miserere mei Domine, fili David.
Filia mea male a daemonio vexatur.

About In illo tempore egressus Jesus
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina's motet In illo tempore egressus Jesus is a significant work for SATTB voices. Set in Latin, it belongs to the genre of sacred Gospel motets, showcasing Palestrina's mastery of Renaissance polyphony. The text, drawn from the Gospel of Matthew, recounts Jesus's encounter with the Canaanite woman. It depicts her urgent plea for her daughter's healing, Jesus's initial silence, and his disciples' request to send her away. The motet captures the dramatic tension and fervent faith of this biblical narrative through its intricate vocal writing and devotional character. This piece would be a powerful addition to a sacred choral program.
