Audi benigne conditor by Filippo Vitale — Lyrics
Audi benigne conditor,
nostras preces cum fletibus,
in hoc sacro jejunio,
fusas quadragenario.
Scrutator alme cordium,
infirma tu scis virium,
ad te reversis exhibe
remissionis gratiam.
Multum quidem peccavimus,
sed pace confitentibus,
ad nominis laudem tui,

About Audi benigne conditor
This setting of Audi benigne conditor is for SATB choir, sung in Latin. The music opens with a directness that immediately conveys the solemnity of the text. Filippo Vitale has crafted a composition that reflects the penitential nature of the Lenten season, as expressed in the lyrics. The prayer implores the 'gentle creator' to hear the pleas and tears offered during this sacred forty-day fast. It seeks divine mercy for the weak and acknowledges past sins while asking for healing. The composer’s sensitive setting enhances the plea for the body to be humbled through abstinence, leading to purified hearts free from sin, and ultimately asks for the Lenten fast to be fruitful for the glory of the Trinity.
