In die tribulationis by Damião de Góis — Lyrics
In die tribulationis meae renuit consolari anima mea;
Et anticipaverunt vigilias oculi mei prae lachrymis; turbatus sum, et non sum locutus.

About In die tribulationis
This moving motet for three-part choir (soprano, alto, tenor) sets a Latin text that speaks of deep sorrow and a refusal of comfort in times of tribulation. The words describe eyes anticipating watchfulness through tears, a profound disturbance, and a turning inward to painful meditation. The composer Damião de Góis paints a stark, introspective scene, articulating the beginning of intense suffering. The SAT voicing allows for a rich yet intimate expression of these profound emotions, making it a powerful choice for sacred services or concerts.
