Credidi tertii toni by Giovanni Cavaccio — Lyrics
Alleluja. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi, et in diebus meis invocabo.
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me.
Tribulationem et dolorem inveni,
et nomen Domini invocavi: o Domine, libera animam meam.
Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam, quia Dominus benefecit tibi:
quia eripuit animam meam de morte, oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.

About Credidi tertii toni
Giovanni Cavaccio's Credidi tertii toni is a sacred setting for SATTB voices, drawing its text from the Latin Psalms. The music opens with a sense of earnest devotion, the voices interweaving in imitative passages that build towards moments of powerful expression. The composer captures the psalm's journey from deep tribulation and distress to a profound expression of faith and hope in divine deliverance. The text speaks of personal suffering and the invocation of God's name, culminating in a powerful affirmation of belief and gratitude for salvation. This piece offers a rich contrapuntal texture and a moving interpretation of devotional text, suitable for services or concerts.
