Als ick riep met verlanghen by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Als ick riep met verlanghen,
God hoorde al mijn leyt,
wanneer mi droefheyt heeft bevanghen,
ghi, Heere wilt mijns ontfermen.
O Heer, wilt mijns ontfermen,
end aenhoort mijn gheclach,

About Als ick riep met verlanghen
André Vierendeels composed this sacred motet for SAB choir. The Dutch text is a plea for mercy and understanding, beginning with an invocation of God hearing the singer's distress and lament. The composer expresses the text's emotional weight through his musical setting. The prayer continues, seeking God's attention day and night, and then turns to address those who are obstinate, questioning why they love vanity and falsehood. The work is a clear example of motet writing in a sacred context.
