Audi Domine hymnum et orationem quam servus tuus orat coram te hodie: ut sint oculi tui aperti et aures tuae intendentes super domum istam die ac nocte.

About Audi Domine hymnum

This imposing Latin motet is for double choir, with demanding parts for SAAATB and SAATTB, and also an ATTTBB choir. Its text is a fervent prayer for divine attention. The words implore God to hear the hymn and prayer offered by his servant, asking that his eyes and ears be open to the house day and night. This prayerful plea for constant divine vigilance makes it suitable for occasions of reflection or supplication. The extended vocal forces suggest a grand and resonant setting, ideal for a large church or cathedral space, creating a powerful devotional experience for both performers and listeners.
