Beati omnes qui timent dominum by Jacob Meiland — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae;
filii tui sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae.

About Beati omnes qui timent dominum
Jacob Meiland’s motet Beati omnes qui timent Dominum offers a rich tapestry for SSATTB voices. The composer explores the text’s message of blessing and prosperity for those who fear the Lord with flowing contrapuntal lines and varied textures. The music opens with a sense of joyful affirmation, gradually unfolding the psalm’s verses which speak of abundant family life and lasting peace. This sacred motet, set in Latin, draws directly from Psalm 128, moving through different vocal combinations to create moments of both intimacy and grandeur. It is a fitting example of Renaissance sacred polyphony, ideal for a choir seeking to convey a message of devotion and well-being through powerful, multi-layered vocal writing.
