About De profundis
Michael J. Drake, Jr. has composed this setting of the Latin text De profundis, which draws from Psalm 130. It is scored for SATB choir and falls within the sacred motet tradition. The opening words, "De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine" (Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord), immediately establish the text's plea for divine mercy and attention. Drake's work gives musical shape to this heartfelt prayer, offering a profound expression of supplication and hope appropriate for liturgical or concert use.
