Fiat misericordia by Francisco Valls — Lyrics
Te Deum laudamus: te Dominum confitemur.
Te aeternum patrem, omnis terra veneratur.
Tibi omnes Angeli: tibi caeli et universae potestates.
Tibi cherubim et seraphim, incessabili voce proclamant:
"Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra maiestatis gloriae tuae."
Te gloriosus Apostolorum chorus,
Te Prophetarum laudabilis numerus,
Te Martyrum candidatus laudat exercitus.
Te per orbem terrarum sancta confitetur Ecclesia:
Patrem immensae maiestatis;
Venerandum tuum verum et unicum Filium;
Sanctum quoque Paraclitum Spiritum.
Tu rex gloriae, Christe:

About Fiat misericordia
This majestic SATB and SSAATT setting of the Te Deum by Francisco Valls is a powerful expression of praise and adoration. The Latin text, a well-known eucharistic hymn of thanksgiving, is treated with reverence and grandeur. Valls crafts a rich sonic landscape, with contrasting vocal textures and dynamic shifts that underscore the text's profound theological statements. The intricate vocal writing, spanning a wide range, calls for a skilled choir capable of navigating its challenges. Its solemnity and expansive scope make it suitable for significant liturgical occasions or as a centrepiece for a concert programme, offering a profound spiritual and musical experience.
