De profundis by Giovanni Matteo Asola — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
Domine, exaudi vocem meam.
Fiant aures tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae.

About De profundis
The text of this setting of Psalm 129, De profundis, is a heartfelt plea from the depths. The psalmist calls out to the Lord, begging for his prayers to be heard and for mercy. Asola sets this profound text for double choir (SATB.SATB), creating a rich and resonant sound world. The Latin is devotional, expressing a deep reliance on God's promise of redemption and forgiveness. This is a powerful sacred work for double choir, suitable for liturgical use or concert programming.
