Dextera Domini by Robert Schumann — Lyrics
Dextera Domini fecit virtutem, dextera Domini exaltavit me.
Non moriar, sed vivam, et narrabo opera Domini.
About Dextera Domini
The words of this powerful motet are drawn from the Psalms, expressing triumphant praise and a declaration of faith. "The right hand of the Lord has wrought strength; the right hand of the Lord has exalted me." The text continues with a fervent affirmation: "I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord." Robert Schumann’s setting for SATB voices in Latin vividly conveys the text's confident and exultant spirit. It is a profound musical statement of divine power and personal deliverance, suitable for services or concerts where the choir can explore its rich harmonic language and dramatic contours.
