Confitebor secundi toni

Costanzo Porta's Confitebor secundi toni is a vibrant setting of Psalm 111 for double choir (SAATTB). The music unfolds with rich imitative passages, particularly between the upper voices, before blossoming into homophonic sections that powerfully project the text. The Latin psalm text speaks of God's mighty works, his justice, mercy, and the covenant with his people. Porta's masterful command of contrapuntal technique and dramatic choral writing creates a motet of considerable depth and expressive power, suitable for services and concerts alike.
