Confitebor secondo 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 secondo
This setting of Psalm 111 in Latin is by Claudio Monteverdi. It is scored for three voices: soprano, tenor, and bass. The text, beginning with "Alleluja. Confitebor tibi, Domine", is a joyful psalm of thanksgiving, praising God's mighty works, his justice, and his faithfulness. Monteverdi's music reflects the scriptural text, offering a rich harmonic language and contrapuntal interplay between the vocal lines. The composer's masterful handling of the STB texture creates a powerful and expressive rendition of this sacred motet, suitable for liturgical use or concert performance.
