Deduc me, domine by Francesco Stivori — Lyrics
About Deduc me, domine
Francesco Stivori’s Deduc me, domine is a sacred motet for six-part choir (SAATTB). Sung in Latin, its text is a prayer from the Book of Psalms, a plea for divine guidance, protection, and mercy. The composer sets the words with a keen sense of their devotional meaning. The supplicant asks God to incline his ear, to save his servant, and to gladden his soul. The motet’s texture shifts to reflect the text’s unfolding sentiments, from humble entreaty to confident trust in God’s boundless compassion. The setting culminates in a powerful affirmation of God’s uniqueness and a vision of all nations coming to adore Him.
