Confitebor a 6 con 5 viole by Giovanni Antonio Rigatti — 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 6 con 5 viole
The Latin text of this setting is drawn from Psalm 111, opening with a declaration of praise and thanksgiving to God. The composer vividly portrays the magnificence of God's works and His enduring justice and mercy. This work is scored for a large six-part choir (SSATTB), accompanied by five violas, making it a rich and sonorous addition to Vespers. Rigatti's setting emphasizes the text's themes of God's faithfulness, the revelation of His power to His people, and the awe-inspiring nature of His holy name.
