Confitebor I (1650) by Claudio Monteverdi — Lyrics
Alleluja. Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, in consilio justorum,
et congregatione.
Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates ejus.
Confessio et magnificentia opus ejus, et justitia ejus manet in saeculum saeculi.
Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum, misericors et miserator
Dominus.
Escam dedit timentibus se; memor erit in saeculum testamenti sui.
Virtutem operum suorum annuntiabit populo suo,

About Confitebor I (1650)
This sacred motet by Claudio Monteverdi is a solo soprano setting of a Latin text from Psalm 111. The music is characterized by its rich melodic writing, reflecting the psalm's praise for God's mighty works and eternal covenant. The solo soprano line soars, expressing the joyful confession and awe inherent in the text, which speaks of God's justice, mercy, and the establishment of His everlasting testament. It offers a profound and intimate reflection on divine faithfulness and power, suitable for sacred services or recital programs seeking a piece of Baroque devotion.
