About Benedicam Dominum
Franz Xaver Witt was a prolific composer of sacred music in the late Romantic period, known for his accessible yet musically rewarding motets. Benedicam Dominum is a fine example of his output, written for SATTB choir and sung in Latin. The text, drawn from Psalm 33, speaks of God's guidance and the strength found in divine wisdom. Witt's setting captures the devotional spirit of the words, offering opportunities for rich harmonic colour and expressive melodic lines. It is a motet suitable for liturgical occasions or concert programmes, providing a satisfying challenge for an experienced SATB choir.
