About Domine ad adjuvandum
The immediate appeal of Rupert Ignaz Mayr's Domine ad adjuvandum lies in its vibrant choral writing, with the SATB voices entering in lively dialogue. This sacred setting of Psalm 70, verses 1-2, uses the familiar Latin text invoking God's help, followed by the Gloria Patri. Mayr crafts a rich texture, bringing the supplication to life with dynamic interplay between the parts. The setting is suitable for services, particularly during the liturgical season from Septuagesima to Easter when the 'Alleluia' is replaced by 'Laus tibi Domine Rex aeternae gloriae', a prayer of praise for eternal glory.
