Confitebor, Op. II, No. 9 by Valentin Rathgeber — 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, Op. II, No. 9
This moving setting of Psalm 111 (110) by Valentin Rathgeber, sung in Latin, is ideal for liturgical occasions or concerts. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic exploration as the choir proclaims the magnificence of God's works. The text speaks of God's mighty deeds, his everlasting justice, and the remembrance of his covenant, urging singers to express awe and gratitude. Rathgeber's music likely reflects the devotional character of the sacred text, providing a powerful choral experience suitable for festive services or as a standalone motet.
