De profundis clamavi by Jeffrey Quick — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
Domine, exaudi vocem meam.
Fiant aures tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae.
Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit?
Quia apud te propitiatio est; et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine.

About De profundis clamavi
This motet, De profundis clamavi, is a powerful setting of the opening words of Psalm 129. Often sung as a prayer for the departed or during penitential seasons, the text expresses a profound cry from the depths, seeking God's mercy and forgiveness. Jeffrey Quick's setting for treble, solo bass, and boys' voices offers a dynamic and engaging musical interpretation of this ancient plea. The STB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures and clear declamation of the Latin text, creating an atmosphere of earnest supplication and ultimate hope in God's redeeming grace.
