Confitebor tibi Domine by Alessandro Grandi — Lyrics
Confitebor tibi Domine in toto corde meo;
narrabo mirabilia tua
Laetabor & exultabor in te; psallam nomini tuo
Altissime
Exultabit cor meum in salutari tuo:
Cantabo Domino qui bona tribuit mihi;
Psallam nomini Domini Altissimi. [Alleluia.]

About Confitebor tibi Domine
Alessandro Grandi was a prominent composer of sacred music in the early Baroque period. This motet, Confitebor tibi Domine, is a powerful setting of Latin liturgical text for solo voice. The music celebrates God's goodness and wondrous deeds, with the solo voice expressing fervent praise and exultation. The text is drawn from Psalms 9 and 11, and its jubilant tone is reflected in the vocal line, which moves with expressive melodic contours. Grandi's setting likely draws on the Venetian polychoral tradition, though this version is for a single voice, demanding a sensitive and technically assured performance.
