Asperges Me by Claudio Casciolini — Lyrics
Asperges me Domine hyssopo et mundabor: lavabis me et super nivem dealbabor.
Miserere mei Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.

About Asperges Me
Claudio Casciolini’s Asperges Me sets a text of profound penitence and plea for purification. The words, drawn from Psalm 51, speak of being cleansed with hyssop, washed whiter than snow, and implore God’s mercy according to His great compassion. The motet continues with the Gloria Patri, traditionally sung to mark the end of a psalm or canticle. Composed for SATB voices in Latin, this sacred setting offers a rich opportunity for expressive choral singing, allowing the choir to convey the text’s deep spiritual longing and ultimate praise.
