Beatus Vir qui timet Dominum by Giovanni Matteo Asola — 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 qui timet Dominum
Beatus Vir qui timet Dominum by Giovanni Matteo Asola is a motet for double SATB choir, sung in Latin. The text, drawn from Psalm 112, speaks of the blessed man who fears the Lord. It describes his prosperity, his righteousness which endures forever, and his light shining in darkness. The composer evokes a sense of divine favour and enduring justice, setting the words with a richness appropriate for double choir. This sacred work would suit services or concerts, offering a powerful and sonorous expression of faith and virtue for a larger choral ensemble.
