| Remarks: |
A rapt setting of Christ’s words
at the Last Supper: "While they were eating,
Jesus took the bread,
blessed it, and broke it,
and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take and eat;
this is my body." This motet is one of Palestrina’s most exquisitely wrought creations exuding that mystical fervor befitting this defining moment in Christian theology. |
