Confitebor tibi Domine a6 by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
Oratio ipsi David. Inclina, Domine, aurem tuam et exaudi me, quoniam inops et pauper sum ego.
Custodi animam meam, quoniam sanctus sum; salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus,
sperantem in te.
Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam ad te clamavi tota die;
laetifica animam servi tui, quoniam ad te, Domine, animam meam levavi.
Quoniam tu, Domine, suavis et mitis, et multae misericordiae omnibus invocantibus te.
Auribus percipe, Domine, orationem meam, et intende voci deprecationis meae.
In die tribulationis meae clamavi ad te, quia exaudisti me.
Non est similis tui in diis, Domine,
et non est secundum opera tua.
Omnes gentes quascumque fecisti venient, et adorabunt coram te, Domine, et
glorificabunt nomen tuum.
Quoniam magnus es tu, et faciens mirabilia; tu es Deus solus.

About Confitebor tibi Domine a6
This motet for six voices (SSATTB) is a setting of a Latin text from the Psalms, a prayer by David. It would be suitable for liturgical use, perhaps within Vespers or as a standalone motet in a service. The music expresses profound supplication and trust in God's mercy and power. Lasso’s contrapuntal writing unfolds the text with both urgency and a sense of divine comfort. The composer’s mastery of polyphony is evident in the rich texture and imitative interplay between the vocal lines, creating a deeply expressive and devotional atmosphere. The motet calls for clear diction and sensitive dynamic shaping to convey the full emotional arc of the prayer.
