About Deus, qui manus tuas
Jan Tollius composed this SSATB motet in Latin. It is a sacred work from the Renaissance period, continuing the tradition of polyphonic settings of liturgical texts. The composer asks God for the grace to practice virtues such as penitence, abstinence, patience, chastity, humility, and obedience, in remembrance of Christ's sacrifice on the cross. The text implores Jesus Christ for salvation and mercy, making it a profound reflection on Christian faith and devotion. Tollius's setting likely emphasizes the solemnity and spiritual depth of the prayer.
