Benedicam Dominum by Gregor Aichinger — Lyrics
Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore; semper laus ejus in ore meo.
In Domino laudabitur anima mea: audiant mansueti, et laetentur.
About Benedicam Dominum
Gregor Aichinger's setting of Benedicam Dominum is a powerful motet for SSATB voices. Sung in Latin, it draws text from Psalm 34, a psalm of praise and thanksgiving. The opening lines, 'I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall always be on my lips,' set a tone of profound devotion. Aichinger's music amplifies this sentiment, with the intricate interplay of the five vocal parts creating a rich and resonant sound. The motet moves from declarations of personal faith to a broader call for the humble to rejoice in the Lord, making it suitable for devotional services or as a profound liturgical statement.
