Confitebor tibi domine by Teodoro Riccio — 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
Teodoro Riccio's Confitebor tibi domine is a powerful sacred motet for double SATB choir. Set in Latin, the text is taken from Psalm 111, praising God's mighty works, his justice, mercy, and the covenant he makes with his people. The composer's setting reflects the grandeur and magnificence of the divine attributes described, with the double choir offering rich opportunities for contrapuntal interplay and dramatic contrasts. This work is a significant example of Renaissance motet writing, demanding skilled vocalists and a conductor capable of bringing out the text's profound spiritual message and the musical richness of the polychoral style.
