Deus Abraham by Camille Saint-Saëns — Lyrics
Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac et Deus Jacob vobiscum sit:
et ipse conjugat vos impleatque benedictionem suam in vobis.
About Deus Abraham
This brief, devotional motet for solo mezzo-soprano is settings of Latin text. Deus Abraham is a prayer for God's presence and blessing. The vocal line is flowing and lyrical, with a gentle unfolding of the sacred words. It is a piece that would suit a moment of quiet reflection or a more personal devotional setting. Saint-Saëns's setting is beautifully crafted, showcasing the solo voice with clear declamation and expressive melodic contour. It is a fitting addition to sacred repertoire for a solo voice.
