In illo tempore Maria Magdalene by Jean Mouton — Lyrics
In illo tempore Maria Magdalene
Jacobi et Salome emerunt aromata ut venientes unguerent Jesum.
Angelus Domini descendit de caelo et dixit eis:
nolite timere, resurrexit Dominus,
alleluya,
sicut dixit vobis, alleluya.
Dic nobis Maria quid vidisti in via.
Sepulcrum Christi viventis

About In illo tempore Maria Magdalene
This sacred motet by Jean Mouton, written in Latin, recounts the events of Easter morning. The text describes Mary Magdalene and her companions purchasing spices to anoint Jesus, and the angelic message of the Resurrection. It then presents a dialogue, with Mary Magdalene proclaiming she has seen the risen Christ, followed by a call to the Jews to account for the body, and finally Thomas's encounter with the risen Jesus. Mouton masterfully sets this narrative with rich textures for double choir (STTB, ATTB, SATB), creating a powerful and moving musical depiction of the Resurrection story.
