About In nomine Iesu a 5
This motet for five voices (SATTB) sets a powerful Latin text concerning the Holy Name of Jesus. It is suitable for services in Ordinary Time or at major feasts of Christ, such as Christ the King. The text, drawn from scripture, speaks of Jesus' obedience unto death and his subsequent glorification. Christoph Straus, a composer of sacred music in the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods, wrote In nomine Iesu a 5 for a five-part choir. Its contrapuntal texture and devotional character make it an excellent choice for choirs seeking to explore the rich repertoire of sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century motets.
