In illo tempore exsurgens Maria by Jacopo Antonio Cardillo — Lyrics
In illo tempore exsurgens Maria abiit in montana
cum festinatione in civitatem Judaet intravit in domum Zachariae et salutavit Elisabeth.
Et factum est ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabethexsultavit infans in utero eiuset repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth
et exclamavit voce magna et dixit:Benedicta tu inter mulieres, et benedictus fructus ventris tui.

About In illo tempore exsurgens Maria
In illo tempore exsurgens Maria opens with a sense of urgent motion, the voices interweaving to depict Mary’s swift journey to visit Elizabeth. This sacred motet for SATTB choir sets a passage from the Latin Gospel, recounting the Visitation. The music flows with a rich, polyphonic texture that at times becomes more declamatory, echoing the words of Elizabeth's blessing and the Magnificat itself. Cardillo masterfully captures the spiritual joy and profound significance of this encounter, moving from quiet reverence to exultant praise. The setting reflects the text's narrative arc, bringing to life the sacred encounter and the divine inspiration that fills both women and the child within.
