Ad te levavi by Giovanni Matteo Asola — Lyrics
Ad te [Domine] levavi animam meam, Deus meus, in te confido:
non erubescam neque irrideant me inimici mei.
Etenim universi qui te expectant non confundentur.

About Ad te levavi
This setting of the Introit for the First Sunday of Advent, Ad te levavi, comes from Giovanni Matteo Asola. The Latin text is a prayer of supplication and trust in God, asking for guidance and protection from enemies. Asola’s original setting is for ATTB, but this edition offers a SATB arrangement. The composer’s style typically features clear harmonic writing and a flowing melodic line, making this an accessible yet expressive choice for a choir. It is well-suited to the liturgical setting of the entrance antiphon, where its devotional character can help set the tone for the service.
