Dextera Domini by Oliver Hayes — Lyrics
Dextera Domini fecit virtutem, dextera Domini exaltavit me.
Non moriar, sed vivam, et narrabo opera Domini.
About Dextera Domini
Oliver Hayes's motet Dextera Domini is written for SATB choir, setting a Latin text drawn from Psalm 118. The words speak of God's powerful right hand exalting the singer, and a resolve not to die but to live and proclaim the Lord's works. This sacred setting offers a powerful expression of faith and divine intervention, suitable for services or concerts. The vocal writing will challenge and reward a skilled choir, allowing for dynamic contrasts and a rich choral sound. It is a strong addition to the repertoire for unaccompanied SATB, offering a dramatic and uplifting message.
