Confitebor tibi Domine by Giovanni Gastoldi — 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 tibi Domine
This setting of Psalm 111 in Latin begins with a joyful Alleluia, echoing the text's theme of praise and thanksgiving to God. The words speak of God's mighty deeds, his justice, and his enduring mercy, promising his people an inheritance among the nations. Gastoldi's SATTB voicing creates a rich, resonant sound suitable for the grandeur of the text. This sacred work, fitting for Vespers, offers a powerful expression of faith and devotion, its harmonies reflecting the reverence and awe inspired by the divine attributes described in the psalm.
