Exaudi me, Domine

Gregor Lange's motet Exaudi me, Domine is a fine example of sacred Latin part-music from the Renaissance. This setting for SSATB voices draws on the rich tradition of motet composition. The text is a plea for divine mercy, beginning "Exaudi me, Domine, quoniam benigna est misericordia tua, secundum multitudinem miserationum tuam respice me." Lange's music reflects the devotional nature of these words, offering a compelling and sonorous musical setting that would have been at home in a variety of liturgical and devotional contexts. The vocal writing is expertly crafted for the five parts, creating a unified and expressive whole.
