vere languores nostros

(2016) SATB (with divisi)

Sacred Latin motet.

With the help of my friend Scott, here is the text in English:

Truly He Himself bore our griefs, and He Himself carried our sorrows; His wounds cleanse us. Sweet wood, sweet nails, sweetly bearing the weight, you alone were worthy, to bear the King of heaven and the Lord.

[Isaiah 53:4-5; the second half of the text is a paraphrase of the Crux Fidelis of Good Friday.]

 duration: ca. 5'02"
