Circuibo by Nobuaki Izawa — Lyrics
Psalmus David, priusquam liniretur. Dominus illuminatio mea et salus mea: quem timebo?
Dominus protector vitae meae: a quo trepidabo?
Dum appropiant super me nocentes ut edant carnes meas, qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi
infirmati sunt et ceciderunt.
Si consistant adversum me castra, non timebit cor meum; si exsurgat adversum me praelium, in hoc ego sperabo.
Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram, ut inhabitem in domo Domini omnibus diebus vitae meae; ut videam voluptatem Domini, et visitem templum ejus.
Quoniam abscondit me in tabernaculo suo; in die malorum abscondito me in tabernaculi sui.
In petra exaltavit me, et nunc exaltavit caput meum super inimicos meos. Circuivi,
et immolavi in tabernaculo ejus hostiam vociferationis;
cantabo, et psalmum dicam Domino.

About Circuibo
This SATB setting of a Latin communion text opens with a sense of awe and wonder, immediately establishing a contemplative atmosphere. The composer masterfully shapes the phrases to mirror the Psalmist's trust and reliance on God, even in the face of adversity. The interwoven vocal lines create a rich, resonant texture, building in intensity as the text speaks of divine protection and refuge. The music draws the listener into the heart of the psalm, conveying a profound sense of peace and security found in God's presence. Nobuaki Izawa’s composition is a moving exploration of faith, offering moments of both quiet reflection and soaring affirmation.
