Exaudiat te Dominus by Robert White — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David.
Exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis; protegat te nomen Dei Iacob.
Mittat tibi auxilium de sancto, et de Sion tueatur te.
Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui, et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.
Tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum, et omne consilium tuum confirmet.

About Exaudiat te Dominus
Robert White's motet Exaudiat te Dominus is a powerful setting for double choir (SSAATTBB) of a Latin text taken from Psalm 20. The words are a prayer for divine protection and blessing, often interpreted as a royalist psalm, invoking God's aid for a king. This piece would be most fitting for occasions of national or royal significance, or simply as a majestic offering in a service where a substantial sacred choral work is desired. The antiphonal nature of the double choir allows for dramatic contrasts and rich, resonant textures, making it a compelling choice for a choir looking to explore the complexities of Renaissance polyphony.
