Product Description
The thematic melodic
material for this a cappella setting is taken from the 11th century
chant "Dominus Jesus" found in the Liber Usualis. The text is very similar to
that used by many Christian churches in Maundy Thursday services. (For
instance: pages 274 and 275 of the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer.) The piece
has also been used successfully as a communion anthem. Harmonically the setting
is in a contemporary style with some contrapuntal application. Reduction for accompaniment only is included.
Latin text used in this
setting:
Dominus Jesus postquam coenavit cum discipulis
suis lavit pedes eorum, et
ait illis:
Scitis quid fecerim vobis, ego Dominus, et magister?
Exemplum dedi vobis, ut et vos ita faciatis
Translation:
Jesus the Lord, after He
had supped with His disciples, washed their feet, and said to them:
Know you what I, your
Lord and Master, have done to you? I gave you an example, that you also may do
likewise.
