Ad te Domine clamabo by Ascanio Trombetti — Lyrics
Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David.
Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti me, nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.
Domine Deus meus, clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.
Domine, eduxisti ab inferno animam meam; salvasti me a descendentibus in lacum.
Psallite Domino, sancti ejus; et confitemini memoriae
sanctitatis ejus.
Quoniam ira in indignatione ejus, et vita in voluntate ejus:
ad vesperum demorabitur fletus, et ad matutinum laetitia.
Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea: Non movebor in æternum.

About Ad te Domine clamabo
This motet, Ad te Domine clamabo, draws its text from the Psalms, likely intended for use in a dedication service or a similar occasion of thanksgiving. The composer, Ascanio Trombetti, sets this Latin psalmody for a grand eight-part choir, with both SSATTTB and AATTTBB voicings suggested, allowing for a rich, resonant sound ideal for sacred spaces. The text expresses profound reliance on God, recounting deliverance from peril and acknowledging divine intervention. It moves from expressions of distress and appeals for help to exultant praise and confidence in God's unfailing strength, making it a powerful declaration of faith and gratitude. The extended vocal forces suggest a dramatic and sonorous performance, befitting the solemnity of the subject matter.
