Audi benigne Conditor

Delfino Thermignon’s setting of the Lenten hymn Audi benigne Conditor is for SSA voices in Latin. The text is a prayer for mercy during the sacred season of Quadragesima (Lent), acknowledging sinfulness and seeking divine forgiveness and healing. The composer’s music offers a solemn setting to this ancient text, which implores the 'gracious Creator' to hear the supplications of the faithful, particularly during the penitential period of fasting and abstinence. The choir’s three-part texture will lend a rich sonority to the plea for the Trinity to grant that the Lenten fast be fruitful, leading to the remission of sins and the cleansing of hearts.
