About Diligam te Domine
This motet, Diligam te Domine, is a profound expression of faith for SATB choir, sung in Latin. Raffaella Aleotti sets words from Psalm 18, a prayer of deep trust and reliance on God. The text speaks of the Lord as strength, refuge, and deliverer, a protector against enemies. Aleotti’s setting would suit a service of reflection or thanksgiving, or a concert programme focusing on sacred repertoire. The rich SATTB voicing allows for expressive harmonies to underscore the devotional message of the text, painting a picture of unwavering devotion and seeking solace in the divine.
