Beatus vir - opus 2 by Giacomo Antonio Perti — Lyrics
Alleluia. Reversionis Aggei et Zacchariae. Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.
Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.
Gloria et divitiae in domo ejus: et justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi.
Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et justus.
Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio:
quia in aeternum non commovebitur.
In memoria aeterna erit justus;

About Beatus vir - opus 2
The text for this setting of Psalm 111 (112) expresses profound joy and well-being for the righteous man who fears God. It paints a picture of prosperity, light in darkness, and enduring justice, with the promise that his memory will be eternal and his heart steadfast. The composer sets this Latin text for SATB choir, offering a sacred work rooted in the tradition of Vespers psalms. The music would serve to enrich liturgical services or concert programs with its devotional and uplifting message.
