Attende, Domine by Catuí Côrte-Real Suarez — Lyrics
(Refrain) Atténde Dómine, et miserére,
quia peccávimus tíbi.
1. Ad te Réx súmme, ómnium Redémptor,
óculos nóstros sublevámus fléntes:
exáudi, Chríste, supplicántum préces.
2. Déxtera Pátris, lápis anguláris,
vía salútis, jánua cæléstis,
áblue nóstri máculas delícti:

About Attende, Domine
This striking setting of the Latin text Attende, Domine, a profound plea for divine mercy, offers a powerful devotional experience. The ATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures, drawing the listener into the penitential themes of the lyrics. The text, a well-known Marian antiphon, expresses deep sorrow for sin and a fervent hope for redemption, with each verse offering a specific petition for God's forgiveness and grace. Composer Catuí Côrte-Real Suarez crafts a moving musical setting, emphasizing the solemnity and heartfelt sincerity of the supplications. It is a piece well-suited for liturgical occasions where reflection and spiritual contemplation are encouraged, providing a moving focal point for congregational prayer and choral artistry.
