Domine exaudi by Matthäus Nagiller — Lyrics
Domine, exaudi orationem meam, et clamor meus ad te [per]veniat.
Ne avertas faciem tuam a me: in quacumque die tribulor, inclina ad me aurem tuam;

About Domine exaudi
Matthäus Nagiller’s Domine exaudi is a solo soprano motet in Latin. The music is direct and impassioned, mirroring the supplication of the text. The solo voice ascends in a fervent plea for God to hear the prayer, with moments of intense chromaticism reflecting the distress of the psalmist. The vocal line rises to climaxes of great power, only to fall back in moments of profound humility. The setting ends with a sense of quiet resignation, a prayer for swift hearing in times of trouble.
