Conserva me Deus by Carlotta Ferrari — Lyrics
Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
Multiplicatae sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt.
Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
Dominus pars haereditatis meae, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues haereditatem meam mihi.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris; etenim haereditas mea praeclara est mihi.

About Conserva me Deus
Carlotta Ferrari sets a plea for divine protection in this sacred Latin motet for SA choir. The text, drawn from Psalm 16, expresses profound trust in God as the source of all good things, asking for safeguarding and guidance. Ferrari's setting is contemplative, reflecting the devotional nature of the text. The SA voicing offers a clear, accessible line for two-part choirs, making it suitable for services or concerts where a sincere expression of faith is desired. The composer's approach is to create a musical setting that underscores the spiritual depth and personal reliance on the divine found within the ancient words.
