Jesus cum sic diligitur

This motet for SSATB voices is a powerful expression of divine love. The music opens with intricate vocal interplay, setting the scene for a text that describes an unquenchable, divinely-sent love for Jesus. As the verses unfold, the music mirrors the text's progression, moving from the initial warmth of affection to a fervent, burning passion. The composer, Samuel Friedrich Capricornus, crafts a rich harmonic language that vividly conveys the spiritual intensity of the Latin words. This is a profoundly devotional work, suitable for services seeking to explore themes of deep faith and spiritual rapture through sacred choral music.
