Dominus dabit benignitatem by Heinrich Isaac — Lyrics
About Dominus dabit benignitatem
Heinrich Isaac's motet Dominus dabit benignitatem is suitable for use during the Communion rite. The Latin text, taken from Psalm 85:12, speaks of God's goodness and the fruitful bounty of the land. The composer sets this comforting promise with rich, imitative polyphony, offering opportunities for expressive vocal writing across a range of voicings, including STTB, ATTB, and SATB. Isaac's masterful handling of the text allows the choir to convey a sense of divine blessing and earthly abundance, making it an uplifting choice for liturgical occasions.
