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 second motet was inspired by a powerful scenes in the Gospel of John, namely, Saint Peter’s encounter with Jesus on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias, where the Lord offers Peter three opportunities to undo his threefold denial (Jn 21:15–17).
This motet alternates between homophonic blocks and chantlike episodes, and concludes with an 8-part alleluia.
