Derelinquat impius viam suam by Teodoro Riccio — Lyrics
Derelinquat impius viam suam et vir iniquus cogitationes suas, et revertatur ad Dominum, et miserebitur ei, quoniam multus est ad ignoscendum.
About Derelinquat impius viam suam
Teodoro Riccio's motet Derelinquat impius viam suam sets a powerful plea for repentance and divine mercy. The text, drawn from the Book of Isaiah, calls for the wicked to abandon their sinful paths and wicked thoughts, returning to the Lord who is ever-ready to forgive. Riccio's setting for SATTB voices in Latin amplifies the drama and sincerity of the message. This motet, a fine example of sacred Renaissance part-music, would serve as a compelling and moving addition to a choir's repertoire, offering a profound reflection on spiritual transformation and God's boundless compassion.
