Celebrabo te Domine

Samuel Friedrich Capricornus's SS motet Celebrabo te Domine is a powerful setting of a psalm text. Its Latin words speak of praise and glorification of God, finding solace in divine mercy. The text's opening lines "I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with all my heart, and glorify your name forever, for your great mercy toward me" suggest occasions of profound gratitude and spiritual reflection. Written for two solo voices, this motet offers an intimate and expressive opportunity for smaller vocal ensembles to explore rich sacred repertoire from the Baroque era, allowing the soloists to convey the deeply personal and devotional nature of the psalm.
