Confitebor by Johann Kaspar Ferdinand Fischer — 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
This setting of Psalm 111 is ideal for SATB choirs looking for a substantial work in Latin. The text, a beautiful expression of praise and thanksgiving to God for his mighty deeds, justice, and enduring covenant, is brought to life with rich harmonies and clear textual declamation. Fischer's Confitebor would serve well as a motet within a service or as a standalone choral anthem, offering a profound musical reflection on divine faithfulness and power. Its sacred nature and Vesper Psalm classification make it particularly suitable for liturgical settings or concert programs focusing on devotional music.
