"Dum transisset Sabbatum" is a motet for 5 voices, inspired from Mark 16:1-2, composed by Thomas Tallis and first published in 1575 in "Cantiones sacrae".

Dum transisset Sabbatum (Original Latin)
Dum transisset Sabbatum,
Maria Magdalene et Maria Jacobi
et Salome emerunt aromata,
ut venientes ungerent Jesum. Alleluia.

Et valde mane una Sabbatorum
veniunt ad monumentum,
orto iam sole.
Ut venientes ungerent Jesum. Alleluia.
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.
Alleluia.

Dum transisset Sabbatum (Translate)
When the sabbath was over,
Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James,
and Salome bought aromatic oils,
intending to go and anoint Jesus. Alleluia.

And very early on the first day of the week,
they came to the tomb,
just after sunrise.
Intending to go and anoint Jesus. Alleluia.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
Alleluia.
