Confitebor a 16 by Cristoforo Caresana — 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 a 16
Cristoforo Caresana's Confitebor a 16 is a substantial sacred work setting Psalm 111 in Latin. This Vesper Psalm extols the greatness of God's works and covenant, calling for praise and remembrance. The text speaks of God's justice and mercy, the provision for those who fear him, and the heritage he bestows upon his people. Caresana's setting is scored for no fewer than sixteen voices, divided into four SATB choirs, creating a rich and complex sonic architecture. This antiphonal arrangement allows for grand contrasts and powerful tutti passages, suitable for a large liturgical setting.
