Cum invocarem by Amadio Freddi — Lyrics
In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David.
Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiae meae, in tribulatione dilatasti mihi.
Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam.
Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem,
et quaeritis mendacium? [diapsalma]
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum;
Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quae dicitis in cordibus vestris,

About Cum invocarem
This motet sets a Latin text from Psalm 4, a prayer of trust and petition. The words express a deep reliance on God for deliverance, with the singer seeking divine favour and rejoicing in God's light and the spiritual joy it brings. Amadio Freddi crafts this setting for SSTTB voices, exploring the psalm's message of hope and comfort through a rich, layered texture. The music likely reflects the text's emotional arc, moving from supplication to confident assurance. It is a powerful example of sacred Renaissance part-music, suited for liturgical occasions or as a moving concert piece.
