Christus factus est is a bilingual motet in Latin and English, written for the Holy Week.
English is intended like a “parola scenica”, that is, according to Maria Callas, the moment of the action in which words have a dramatic meaning, a spotlight like on a stage. Latin, on the other hand, represents the reference to mystery, to darkness, and to faith.
