Confitebor tibi Domine by Tomaso Cecchino — 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 tibi Domine
Tomaso Cecchino's Confitebor tibi Domine is a vibrant setting of a Latin text taken from the Psalms, likely intended for Vespers. Scored for SATTB voices, the work immediately establishes a rich, imitative texture. The composer skillfully navigates the contrasting sentiments of the text, from exultant praise and thanksgiving to reflections on God's mighty works and enduring justice. The piece showcases a masterful interplay between the vocal lines, creating moments of both grandeur and intimate devotion. It offers a compelling opportunity for a choir to explore the expressive possibilities of Renaissance polyphony, bringing to life the psalm's message of faithfulness and divine power.
