Confitebor Angelorum (a 6) by Giovanni Gastoldi — Lyrics
Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei.
In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;
adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo: super misericordia tua et veritate tua; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.
In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terrae, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;
quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta

About Confitebor Angelorum (a 6)
Giovanni Gastoldi's setting of Confitebor Angelorum for six voices (SSATTB) is a significant work within the tradition of sacred Vesper Psalms. Composed during the late Renaissance, this piece showcases the composer's mastery in crafting rich vocal textures. The Latin text, drawn from the Psalms, expresses profound gratitude and praise to God. The singer declares their intention to praise God publicly, in the presence of angels, and to give thanks for His mercy and truth. The music likely reflects the devotional nature of the text, with intricate polyphony and careful attention to harmonic colour, making it a fitting choice for services or concerts seeking devotional depth and vocal splendour.
