Come le limpide onde by Marianna Martines — Lyrics
In finem. Intellectus filiis Core.
Quemadmodum desiderat cervus ad fontes aquarum, ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.
Sitivit anima mea ad Deum fortem, vivum; quando veniam et apparebo ante faciem Dei?
Fuerunt mihi lacrimae meae panis die ac nocte, dum dicitur mihi quotidie: Ubi est Deus tuus?
Haec recordatus sum, et effudi in me animam meam, quoniam transibo in locum tabernaculi admirabilis, usque ad domum Dei, in voce exsultationis et confessionis sonus epulantis.
Quare tristis es, anima mea? et quare conturbas me? Spera in Deo, quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultus mei,

About Come le limpide onde
Marianna Martines's Come le limpide onde, a sacred cantata for SATB choir, would be an inspired choice for a Lenten or penitential service, or indeed any occasion requiring profound reflection. The text, a rich blend of Latin and Italian, expresses a deep spiritual longing, a soul thirsting for God like a deer for water. The music mirrors this yearning, with the choir articulating the text's search for divine presence, the tears of separation, and the eventual hope and confession found in God's house. Martines crafts a moving and devotional work that allows the choir to explore themes of faith, doubt, and ultimate spiritual solace.
