Adflictus sum

Christian Hildebrandt's motet Adflictus sum for SATB voices sets a passage of profound personal suffering. The Latin text speaks of being afflicted and greatly humbled, crying out from the very groaning of the heart. This expressive setting of sacred text captures the deep sorrow and introspection of the words, offering a powerful moment of contemplation. The rich texture of the SATB voicing allows for a full and resonant delivery, ideal for liturgical settings or concert programmes seeking to explore themes of lament and spiritual struggle.
