Auditam fac mihi mane by Ferdinand di Lasso — Lyrics

Psalmus David, quando persequebatur eum Absalom filius ejus. Domine, exaudi orationem meam; auribus percipe obsecrationem meam in veritate tua; exaudi me in tua justitia. Et non intres in judicium cum servo tuo, quia non justificabitur in conspectu tuo omnis vivens. Quia persecutus est inimicus animam meam; humiliavit in terra vitam meam; collocavit me in obscures, sicut mortuos saeculi. Et anxiatus est super me spiritus meus; in me turbatum est cor meum. Memor fui dierum antiquorum; meditatus sum in omnibus operibus tuis: in factis manuum tuarum meditabar. Expandi manus meas ad te; anima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi. [diapsalma] Velociter exaudi me, Domine; defecit spiritus meus. Non avertas faciem tuam a me, et similis ero descendentibus in lacum.

About Auditam fac mihi mane

Ferdinand di Lasso's motet Auditam fac mihi mane is a powerful setting of a Latin text drawn from the Psalms. The composer crafts a vivid musical response to the lamentations of David as he flees his son Absalom. The SSATTB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures and dramatic contrasts, perfectly suiting the devotional and penitential nature of the scripture. The music reflects the plea for divine mercy and justice, moving from moments of deep introspection and sorrow to fervent appeals for deliverance. This motet offers a profound exploration of faith in times of great tribulation, rendered with the expressive depth characteristic of Renaissance sacred polyphony.
