Confitebor tibi Domine by Hermes Bruneau — 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 tibi Domine
Hermes Bruneau's Confitebor tibi Domine is a sacred motet for SATTB choir, sung in Latin. The text is a psalm setting, beginning with David's declaration of praise and thanksgiving to God, recounting how God heard the words of his mouth and will sing praises before the angels. The composer captures the devotional spirit of the psalm, with a rich, five-part texture that allows for varied choral colours and dynamic contrast. The music moves from profound humility to exultation, mirroring the text's journey from personal reliance on God's mercy and truth to a universal acclaim by all the kings of the earth. This motet offers a powerful musical reflection on faith, divine protection, and God's glory.
