Confitebor tibi Domine (a 8) by Giovanni Gastoldi — 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 (a 8)
Gastoldi’s setting of Psalm 110 (111) is written for eight voices, comprising two choirs of SATB. The Latin text, drawn from the Vesper Psalms, begins with a joyful declaration of praise to God, recounting His mighty works and everlasting righteousness. The music reflects this exultation through its rich, polyphonic texture. The division into two choirs allows for a grand, antiphonal dialogue, creating a powerful and resonant sound. The composer explores the text’s themes of divine justice, mercy, and the covenant with His people, offering a compelling musical interpretation of this sacred text suitable for a large choral ensemble.
