Confitebor (Angelorum) by Johann Melchior Gletle — Lyrics
Ipsi David. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, quoniam audisti verba oris mei.
In conspectu angelorum psallam tibi;
adorabo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitebor nomini tuo: super misericordia tua et veritate tua; quoniam magnificasti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.
In quacumque die invocavero te, exaudi me; multiplicabis in anima mea virtutem.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnes reges terrae, quia audierunt omnia verba oris tui.
Et cantent in viis Domini, quoniam magna est gloria Domini;
quoniam excelsus Dominus, et humilia respicit, et alta

About Confitebor (Angelorum)
Johann Melchior Gletle's Confitebor (Angelorum) is a substantial sacred work for SSATB voices. Set in Latin, it draws from Psalm 138, expressing profound gratitude and praise to God. The text speaks of singing God's praises in the presence of angels and acknowledging His mercy and truth. It recounts how kings of the earth will hear God's word and sing His praises, and how God looks upon the humble. The music is designed to convey the grandeur and solemnity of the text, with the five-part choir providing rich harmonies and dynamic possibilities suitable for Vespers or other liturgical settings.
