Domine exaudi orationem meam

Joseph Schildknecht composed this motet for SATB voices. The Latin text is drawn from Psalm 101, expressing a plea for God to hear the singer's prayer and not turn away in times of trouble. The composer sets these words with a directness that reflects the earnest supplication of the text. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic colours as the voices weave together, creating a devotional atmosphere. This sacred motet offers a powerful musical setting of a deeply personal and timeless prayer, suitable for a variety of liturgical or concert settings.
