Audi Domine hymnum

Samuel Webbe was a distinguished English composer of sacred music and a noted organist. Audi Domine hymnum is a powerful motet for SATB choir, sung in Latin. The text, from the Old Testament, is a fervent prayer for divine attention and protection over a specific place. The composer's setting, with its rich harmonies and clear textual setting, emphasizes the earnest plea for God's watchful presence. This work exemplifies the tradition of sacred motet composition, offering a compelling musical expression of supplication and faith, suitable for liturgical settings or concert performance.
