Brixham by Samuel Holyoke — Lyrics

Canticum graduum. Memento, Domine, David, et omnis mansuetudinis ejus: sicut juravit Domino; votum vovit Deo Jacob: Si introiero in tabernaculum domus meae; si ascendero in lectum strati mei; si dedero somnum oculis meis, et palpebris meis dormitationem, et requiem temporibus meis, donec inveniam locum Domino, tabernaculum Deo Jacob. Ecce audivimus eam in Ephrata; invenimus eam in campis silvae. Introibimus in tabernaculum ejus; adorabimus in loco ubi steterunt pedes ejus. Surge, Domine, in requiem tuam, tu et arca sanctificationis tuae. Sacerdotes tui induantur justitiam, et sancti tui exsultent. Propter David servum tuum non avertas faciem christi tui.

About Brixham

Samuel Holyoke's Brixham is a sacred setting for STB voices, drawing on a Latin text from the Psalms. The composer's tradition of American sacred music from the late 18th and early 19th centuries is evident in this work. The text, reflecting on vows and seeking a dwelling place for God, is presented here in both its original Latin and an English translation. The music likely reflects the contrapuntal and energetic style common in the tunebooks of the period, offering a robust choral experience.
