About Deus in Adiutorium
The familiar opening words of Psalm 70, Deus in adiutorium meum intende, are here set for three voices (ATT). The text is a plea for divine help, especially in times of trouble. In the context of Vespers, this versicle is traditionally followed by the Gloria Patri, and the composer has included this section as well. The setting uses the traditional Latin text, suitable for use in services within the Roman Catholic tradition. Legrenzi's setting offers a concise and devotional response to this important liturgical text, highlighting the direct and earnest appeal for assistance.
