Jam non dicam vos servos

Philipp Dulichius's motet Jam non dicam vos servos sets words from the Gospel of John, chapter 15. The composer moves from the master-servant relationship to one of friendship, as Jesus reveals to his disciples all that he has heard from the Father. Dulichius's rich six-part texture for SSAAATB voices creates a warm, resonant sound world, perfectly suited to the devotional nature of the text. This is sacred part-music from the late Renaissance or early Baroque period, likely intended for liturgical use or a similar solemn setting. The intricate vocal writing allows for both clarity of text and a full, sonorous blend.
