About Domine, non est exaltatum

This powerful motet by Robert White sets a passage from Psalm 131. It is suitable for services in which humility is a theme, or for general use within the Roman Catholic liturgy. White’s setting for SATTBB voices is a masterful exploration of the text’s plea for humility, contrasting moments of profound introspection with a soaring affirmation of faith. The Latin text, expressing a deep reliance on God and a rejection of pride, is treated with a rich harmonic language and contrapuntal skill that makes this motet a significant work of the Renaissance sacred repertoire.
