Exaltabo te Deus meus by Pierre Cadéac — Lyrics
Laudatio ipsi David. Exaltabo te, Deus meus rex, et benedicam nomini tuo in saeculum,
et in saeculum saeculi.
Per singulos dies benedicam tibi, et laudabo nomen tuum in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
Magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis, et magnitudinis ejus non est finis.
Generatio et generatio laudabit opera tua, et potentiam tuam pronuntiabunt.
Magnificentiam gloriae sanctitatis tuae loquentur, et mirabilia tua narrabunt.
Et virtutem terribilium tuorum dicent, et magnitudinem tuam narrabunt.
Memoriam abundantiae suavitatis tuae eructabunt, et justitia tua exsultabunt.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: patiens, et multum misericors.
Suavis Dominus universis, et miserationes ejus super omnia opera ejus.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnia opera tua, et sancti tui benedicant tibi.
Gloriam regni tui dicent, et potentiam tuam loquentur:

About Exaltabo te Deus meus
Pierre Cadéac's motet Exaltabo te Deus meus is a substantial setting of a Latin text drawn from Psalm 144. The composer provides a rich, five-part texture for SATTB choir, ideal for developing expressive vocal lines. The text, a psalm of praise, speaks of exalting God as king, blessing His name eternally, and proclaiming His greatness, glory, and wondrous deeds. Cadéac's music rises to meet the jubilant and reverent message, with moments of grandeur and deep devotion. This motet offers a rewarding opportunity for choirs seeking to explore the sacred polyphony of the Renaissance, with a Latin text that resonates with profound theological meaning.
