Die Heer tot minen Heere by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Die Heer tot minen Heere,
die sprack met claer verstant,
coemt sitten met grooter eere,
tot minder rechter hant.
Tot dat ick hier sal stellen
tot uwer voetenbank,

About Die Heer tot minen Heere
André Vierendeels’ setting of Die Heer tot minen Heere for SAB choir opens with a clear statement of the text in homophonic texture, the voices moving together in step-wise motion. The music rises to a climax on the word 'sprack' (spoke), after which the texture becomes more imitative, with the inner parts moving to the fore. The text, a Dutch translation of Psalm 110, speaks of God's pronouncement to the Messiah, inviting him to sit at his right hand, and his ultimate victory over his enemies. The music mirrors this sense of divine authority and triumph, building in intensity towards the final pronouncements of dominion.
