In convertendo Dominus by Jeffrey Quick — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. In convertendo Dominus captivitatem Sion, facti sumus sicut consolati.
Tunc repletum est gaudio os nostrum, et lingua nostra exsultatione.
Tunc dicent inter gentes: Magnificavit Dominus facere cum eis.
Magnificavit Dominus facere nobiscum; facti sumus laetantes.

About In convertendo Dominus
The text of this motet, In convertendo Dominus, draws from Psalm 126, a Song of Ascents. It speaks of the joy and exultation that follow a return from captivity, a transformation from tears to a bountiful harvest. The composer Jeffrey Quick sets this Latin text to music, portraying the immense relief and overwhelming gladness of a people restored. The music would suit a choir seeking a powerful and uplifting sacred work that explores themes of divine intervention and ultimate rejoicing, reflecting the journey from sorrow to celebration.
