A - Avent II : Psaume 71 by Remi Studer — Lyrics
R/ En ces jourslà, fleurira la justice,
grande paix jusqu’à la fin des temps.
Dieu, donne au roi tes pouvoirs,
à ce fils de roi ta justice.
Qu’il gouverne ton peuple avec justice,
qu’il fasse droit aux malheureux !
En ces jourslà, fleurira la justice,
grande paix jusqu’à la fin des lunes !
Qu’il domine de la mer à la mer,

About A - Avent II : Psaume 71
This setting of Psalm 71 offers a contemplative musical response to a text of hope and justice. The SATB voices weave together, creating a rich texture that underscores the lyrical aspirations of the psalm. The French lyrics speak of a future era of peace and righteousness, guided by a just ruler who cares for the poor and vulnerable. The music aims to reflect this profound sense of divine promise and benevolent leadership. The responsorial nature of the psalm is embraced, with the recurring refrain providing a strong anchor. This is a fitting piece for services seeking to reflect on themes of peace, justice, and righteous governance.
