The Three Easter Motets set to music, for a cappella SATB choir, three remarkable Latin texts well suited to the calm, inward joy of the Paschal season.

The first motet was inspired by a powerful scene in the Gospel of John: the sudden appearance of the risen Christ through closed doors, bringing peace to the fear-shackled apostles (Jn 20:26, 29).

Post dies octo:
Venit Iesus, ianuis clausis. Alleluia.
Iterum erant discipuli eius intus:
Et stetit in medio. Alleluia, alleluia.
Et dixit: Pax vobis.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Beati qui non viderunt et crediderunt.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

TRANSLATION

After eight days:
Jesus came, the doors being closed. Alleluia.
Again His disciples were within:
And He stood in the midst. Alleluia, alleluia.
And He said: Peace to you.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

(St. John 20: 26, 29)
