The 'Three Latin Motets' were written as choral 'Visions' in the dramatic tableaux 'The last Supper.' The Visions cut across the physical action of the drama, taking us through Christ's Passion in reverse order: The Crucifixion (O bone Jesu), The Stations of the Cross (Pange lingua) and The Betrayal (In supremae nocte cenae). In the opera, the motets are pre-recorded, but are here available for separate concert performance. |
