A Carême 1 : Ps. 50 : Pitié, Seigneur, car nous avons péché by Remi Studer — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David,
cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta, quando intravit ad Bethsabee.
Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam; et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco, et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci; ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.
Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.
Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti; incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi.
Asperges me hyssopo, et mundabor; lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.
Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis, et omnes iniquitates meas dele.

About A Carême 1 : Ps. 50 : Pitié, Seigneur, car nous avons péché
Remi Studer’s setting of Ps. 50 opens with a powerful invocation for mercy. The Latin text, familiar as the Miserere mei, Deus, is a profound plea for divine forgiveness, exploring themes of sin, confession, and purification. Studer crafts this for SATB choir, allowing the rich harmonies to underscore the gravity of the text. The piece moves between the solemn Latin of the psalm and a French translation, offering a dual perspective on the penitential act. Its structure lends itself to responsive singing, fitting its categorization as a sacred, responsorial psalm setting. The music reflects the deep spiritual yearning expressed in the psalm’s ancient words.
