Confitebor by Natale Monferrato — Lyrics
Alleluja. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, in consilio justorum,
et congregatione.
Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates ejus.
Confessio et magnificentia opus ejus, et justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi.
Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum, misericors et miserator
Dominus.
Escam dedit timentibus se; memor erit in saeculum testamenti sui.
Virtutem operum suorum annuntiabit populo suo,

About Confitebor
Natale Monferrato composed this setting of the Latin text Confitebor, a psalm of thanksgiving traditionally used in Vespers. This work for SATB choir is a sacred offering, reflecting the rich tradition of liturgical music. The text speaks of praising God with all one's heart, celebrating His great works, justice, and enduring mercy. It recounts His mighty deeds, His covenant, and the redemption He has sent to His people. Monferrato's setting, within the genre of Vesper Psalms, would have been intended to lift the voices of the congregation in praise and contemplation of divine faithfulness and power.
