Agenda Defunctorum - Ad Matutinum - In III Nocturno by Juan Vasquez — Lyrics
1. Complaceat tibi Domine, ut eruas me:
Ad adjuvandum me respice.
2. Sana Domine animam meam
quia peccavi tibi.
3. Sitivit anima mea ad Deum vivum:
Quando veniam, et apparebo ante faciem Domini.
4. Spiritus meus attenuabitur, dies mei breviabuntur,
et solum mihi super est sepulcrum.
Non peccavi, et in amaritudinibus moratur oculus meus.
Libera me Domine, et me juxta te,
et cujusvis manus pugnet contra me.
Dies mei transierunt, cogitationes meae dissipatae sunt,
torquentes cor meum.
Noctem verterunt in diem, et rursum post tenebras spero lucem.

About Agenda Defunctorum - Ad Matutinum - In III Nocturno
Juan Vasquez's Agenda Defunctorum opens with a profound and searching musical depiction of the text. The SATB voices weave together with a rich, imitative texture, creating a sense of earnest prayer. The Latin text, drawn from the Requiem liturgy, explores themes of supplication and the hope for salvation amidst suffering. The music moves with a dignity that reflects the solemnity of the Office of the Dead, while the interplay of the vocal lines conveys a deep spiritual yearning. This motet offers a compelling expression of faith and a plea for divine mercy, suitable for liturgical use or concert performance.
