Confitebor de Angelis by Horatio Colombano — 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 de Angelis
Horatio Colombano's Confitebor de Angelis sets a psalm text from the Vesper Psalms, a collection traditionally sung at Vespers. This devotional Latin text expresses profound gratitude to God, with the opening lines, 'I will confess you, Lord, with my whole heart; because you have heard the words of my mouth,' setting a tone of heartfelt praise. The composer's setting for SATTB choir masterfully navigates the rich biblical language, calling for a confident and expressive performance. The intricate vocal writing is well-suited to the sacred context of Evening Prayer, where its solemnity and devotion would resonate deeply, offering a profound musical reflection on divine mercy and truth.
