About Deus superbis resistit
Sixt Dietrich's motet Deus superbis resistit is a powerful setting of a Latin biblical text. Composed in the tradition of Renaissance sacred polyphony, it is scored for two-part male voices (TB). The text, drawn from scripture, speaks of God's resistance to the proud and His grace towards the humble. It urges listeners to humble themselves under God's mighty hand, casting their cares upon Him, for He is concerned for them. This motet would serve as a profound and textually rich addition to a choir's repertoire, offering a concise yet impactful musical statement on themes of divine providence and humility.
