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

About De profundis clamavi
This setting of the Latin text De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine is by Christoph Willibald Gluck. The words are a prayer from the depths, calling to God for mercy and help. They express a profound sense of penitence and hope for redemption. As a sacred motet for SATB choir, it is well-suited for liturgical settings during penitential seasons or for services of remembrance. Gluck's composition uses the plea for God's attention and the expression of unwavering faith to create a moving musical experience, reflecting the text's journey from distress to hope in divine compassion.
