Deus misereatur nostri a 12 by Andrea Gabrieli — Lyrics
In finem, in hymnis. Psalmus cantici David.
Deus misereatur nostri, et benedicat nobis; illuminet vultum suum super nos,
et misereatur nostri:
ut cognascamus in terra viam tuam, in omnibus gentibus salutare tuum.
Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus: confiteantur tibi populi omnes.

About Deus misereatur nostri a 12
Andrea Gabrieli's Deus misereatur nostri is a grand motet for twelve voices, scored for SSAT.SATB.ATTB and SATB.ATBB.TBBB. Composed in Latin, it belongs to the sacred tradition of motets. The text is a plea for God's mercy, blessing, and guidance, asking that His ways be known on earth and His salvation among all nations. It expresses a universal desire for divine justice and celebrates the fruitfulness of the earth under God's watchful eye. The composer's masterful handling of the vocal forces creates a rich and complex polyphony, reflecting the solemnity and grandeur of the psalm's message.
