Bonum est confiteri Domino by Ottavio Vernizzi — Lyrics
Bonum est confiteri Domino, et psallere nomini tuo, Altissime:
ad annuntiandum mane misericordium tuam, et veritatem tuam per noctem,
in decachordo, psalterio; cum cantico, in cithara.

About Bonum est confiteri Domino
Ottavio Vernizzi's Bonum est confiteri Domino is a substantial motet for double choir (SATB.SATB). The text, drawn from Psalm 92, speaks of the joy and privilege of giving thanks to God, announcing his mercy and truth, and exulting in his works. The composer crafts a rich and resonant sound world, allowing the two choirs to interact in varied textures – sometimes in dialogue, sometimes in powerful unison. This is music of grandeur and devotion, ideal for a festival occasion or a contemplative moment, where the combined forces can be used to thrilling effect.
