Dicit Dominus by Robert Hugill — Lyrics
Dicit Dominus: Ego cogito cogitationes pacis, et non afflictionis: invocabitis me, et ego exaudiam vos: et redúcam captivitatem vestram de cunctis locis.
Benedixísti, Domine, terram tuam: avertísti captivitatem Jacob.
About Dicit Dominus
Robert Hugill’s Dicit Dominus is scored for a substantial SSATBB choir. The work sets a Latin text that begins with God declaring thoughts of peace and not affliction, promising to hear prayers and bring back captives. This is followed by a verse of blessing for the land and the turning of Jacob’s captivity. The composer builds a rich texture for the six voices, creating a devotional atmosphere through flowing lines and resonant harmonies. This piece offers a powerful setting of comforting biblical words, suitable for a moment of reflection or as an entrance song. The extended vocal forces allow for a full and moving sound.
