Dispersit, dedit pauperibus by Ludwig Daser — Lyrics
Alleluia. Reversionis Aggei et Zacchariae. Beatus vir qui timet Dominum: in mandatis ejus volet nimis.
Potens in terra erit semen ejus; generatio rectorum benedicetur.
Gloria et divitiae in domo ejus: et justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi.
Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis: misericors, et miserator, et justus.
Jucundus homo qui miseretur et commodat; disponet sermones suos in judicio:
quia in aeternum non commovebitur.
In memoria aeterna erit justus;

About Dispersit, dedit pauperibus
This setting of Dispersit, dedit pauperibus is for SATB choir. The text, in Latin, is drawn from Psalm 111, a psalm that celebrates the righteous man. The composer Ludwig Daser sets the words describing the virtuous individual who generously gives to the poor, whose justice endures forever, and whose horn will be exalted. It is a powerful sacred antiphon, allowing the choir to explore the rich harmonic possibilities of the text, conveying the enduring legacy of righteousness and generosity.
