About This Song
About "Lassus: Timor et tremor - (Motet)" by The Sixteen
Lassus's motet 'Timor et tremor' trembles with holy fear, the polyphony quivering like leaves in a storm. The Sixteen capture the text's duality—dread and awe—in lines that twist and turn. It's a sonic tightrope walk between anxiety and reverence, each cadence a small, shaky relief.
