Confitebor tibi Domine a8 by Orlando di Lasso — 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 a8
Orlando di Lasso's Confitebor tibi Domine is a magnificent double-choir motet for eight voices (SATB.SATB). The composer opens with a bold statement, immediately showcasing the sonorous potential of the combined choirs. The text, taken from Psalm 138, is a profound declaration of praise and thanksgiving to God. As the motet unfolds, Lasso masterfully employs the antiphonal possibilities of the eight-part texture, creating a rich and dynamic interplay between the two SATB choirs. The music vividly reflects the exultant nature of the Latin text, with moments of grandeur and intimate devotion, culminating in a powerful affirmation of God's glory and might.
