Providebam Dominum, in conspectu meo semper
quoniam à dextris est mihi.

About Benedicam Dominum
Annibale Orgas's Benedicam Dominum is a richly textured motet for double choir, SATB doubling SATB. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 16, expresses profound gratitude for divine wisdom and the assurance of God's constant presence, leading to heartfelt joy and confident hope. Orgas crafts a majestic and celebratory musical setting, with the two choirs interacting in antiphonal dialogues, imitative passages, and moments of unified sonority. The music reflects the text's exultation, building to climaxes of praise and devotion. This work is a prime example of the grand polychoral style, offering a powerful and uplifting experience for singers and listeners alike.
