Domine non mea by Giovanni Battista Cirri — Lyrics
About Domine non mea
Giovanni Battista Cirri, an Italian composer of the late Baroque and early Classical periods, offers this sacred work for treble voices. The text, drawn from Saint Luke's Gospel, is a profound plea for divine will to be done. This setting for two-part treble voices (SSB) explores the earnestness of the text through its devotional character. It is a fine example of the sacred music tradition of its time, likely intended for devotional services or as a spiritual reflection. The composer's skill in crafting effective vocal lines shines through in this concise yet moving piece.
