Dextera Domini by Francesco Maria Zuccari — Lyrics
Dextera Domini fecit virtutem, dextera Domini exaltavit me.
Non moriar, sed vivam, et narrabo opera Domini.
About Dextera Domini
Francesco Maria Zuccari’s setting of Dextera Domini is an effective SATB motet for a sacred occasion. The text, drawn from Psalm 117 and Psalm 118, speaks of the Lord’s right hand, which has wrought strength and raised the singer up. It is a declaration of survival and a promise to recount the works of the Lord. This powerful Latin text is given a fittingly grand musical setting, suitable for liturgical use, perhaps as an offertory hymn. The composer's skillful handling of the choir ensures a rich and resonant sound, making this a rewarding piece for both choir and congregation alike.
