In manus tuas Domine

Amadio Freddi’s setting of In manus tuas, Domine, is a devotional motet for double choir (SSTTB). The text, drawn from Psalm 31, expresses a profound act of faith and surrender, as the singer commends their spirit into God’s hands. This is further amplified by the optional addition of a plea to the Virgin Mary, asking her to pray for us. The rich, resonant harmonies suggested by the SSTTB voicing create an atmosphere of solemn reflection and deep spiritual trust, perfectly suited to sacred liturgical occasions. Freddi’s work offers a contemplative and moving musical interpretation of these powerful words.
