Domine, quid est homo? by Mark Chapman — Lyrics
In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus David.
Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra! quoniam elevata est magnificentia tua super caelos.
Ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos,
ut destruas inimicum et ultorem.
Quoniam videbo caelos tuos,opera digitorum tuorum, lunam et stellas
quae tu fundasti.
Quid est homo, quod memor es eius? aut filius hominis, quoniam visitas eum?

About Domine, quid est homo?
Mark Chapman's Domine, quid est homo? is a potent motet for SSAT.ATBB choir, setting a Latin text from the Psalms. The music opens with a sense of awe and wonder, reflecting the grandeur of creation and the profound question of humanity's place within it. The rich eight-part texture allows for intricate contrapuntal writing and moments of sublime homophony, building to a powerful affirmation of humankind's exalted status. Chapman explores the text's theological depths with a compelling musical narrative, from the humble origins of praise to the ultimate glorification of humanity. This is a work of significant dramatic scope, ideal for a choir seeking to explore the interplay between divine majesty and human dignity.
