Ad te Domine levavi by Johann Evangelist Habert — Lyrics
About Ad te Domine levavi
This setting of Psalm 25, verses 1-5, offers a heartfelt plea for guidance and protection, often sung during Lent. The composer Johann Evangelist Habert crafts a powerful experience for SATB choir, setting the sacred Latin text with a directness that amplifies the plea for divine favour. The music is direct and devotional, suitable for moments of reflection and prayer within a service. The choir's four parts move with clarity, underpinning the earnest petition to God, asking for His ways to be revealed and for protection against enemies. It is a moving exploration of faith and reliance on the divine, perfect for liturgical settings.
