Domine quando veneris

This motet by Guillaume Boni is suitable for services on any day of the liturgical year, particularly during penitential seasons or for Requiem Masses. The text is a plea for mercy at the Last Judgment, with the choir singing as the supplicant asking "Lord, when you come to judge the earth, where shall I hide myself from the face of your anger? For I have sinned exceedingly in my life." The composer sets the words with a sense of deep contrition and fear, building to a fervent prayer for eternal rest for the departed. Sung by SSATB voices in Latin, this sacred work offers a profound musical meditation on sin, judgment, and the hope for redemption.
