Deus qui sedes super thronum by Alexander Utendal — Lyrics
Deus qui sedes super thronum et judicas in aequitate,
esto refugium pauperum in tribulatione,
quia tu solus laborem et dolorem consideras.

About Deus qui sedes super thronum
This SSATB motet in Latin, Deus qui sedes super thronum, would be particularly fitting for services within the liturgical season of Lent or for times of penitence. Alexander Utendal sets a text that offers a prayer for divine aid, specifically for the poor and orphaned, in times of tribulation. The music reflects the earnest plea of the text, with the composer's careful attention to the expression of suffering and the plea for divine succour. The rich five-part texture allows for moments of both profound intimacy and powerful declamation, making it a compelling choice for a choir seeking to convey deep spiritual sentiment through sacred polyphony.
