Bonum est confiteri by Jakob Quadflieg — Lyrics
About Bonum est confiteri
The composer creates an intimate and engaging texture for this setting of Psalm 91:2. The two voices, soprano and bass, move in close proximity, often in imitative dialogue, creating a sense of personal reflection. The music unfolds with a gentle lyricism, perfectly suiting the text's theme of praise and thanksgiving. The Latin words, meaning 'It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing praises to your name, O Most High,' are treated with clarity and devotion. This sacred motet is suitable for services where a clear, devotional musical statement is desired.
