Confitebor by Giovanni Bernardino Nanino — 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.

About Confitebor

This setting of Psalm 111 (110) opens with a joyous "Alleluja" and a declaration of praise to God. The text, in Latin, celebrates God's mighty works, his justice, and his covenant, recounting his faithfulness and the deliverance of his people. Giovanni Bernardino Nanino’s SATB setting moves through these themes with rich polyphony, offering a devotional yet uplifting musical experience appropriate for sacred occasions. The composer's mastery of Renaissance vocal writing is evident in the contrapuntal lines and the careful setting of the psalm's text, creating a powerful and contemplative atmosphere suitable for Vespers or other liturgical celebrations.
