A nostri preghi by Giovanni Animuccia — Lyrics
A nostri prieghi, o maestà divina,
gli orecch'inchina sol per tua pietate,
et per bontate accetta dei devoti
tuoi serv'i voti.
Mira benigno dal tuo seggio santo,
il nostro pianto et con sereno aspetto,
al nostro pett'ogni tenebra sgombra,
che il cuor n'ingombra.
Perdona i falli et tante colpe gravi,
tua pietà lavi e rompi la catene,
solliev'al bene con la man potente
l'alma giacente.
Senza te ci sommergon le profonde,
horribil'onde dell'eterna morte,
ma 'l tuo braccio forte n'erge a le stelle
lucenti et belle.
Christo bontade, et vita, et luce vera,
letitia intiera, caritate immensa,

About A nostri preghi
Giovanni Animuccia's A nostri preghi is a sacred laude for mixed voices, suitable for SSA or SAT combinations. The music opens with a gentle, devotional spirit, reflecting the text's plea for divine mercy and forgiveness. The composer crafts flowing melodic lines and delicate harmonies to convey the earnestness of the supplication. The Italian text speaks of bowing to divine majesty, accepting the vows of the devout, and asking for light to dispel the darkness of the heart. It moves on to implore pardon for sins and liberation from the chains of death, ultimately celebrating Christ as truth, life, and boundless charity whose blood offers salvation.
