Domine ad adjuvandum by Giovanni Battista Mazzaferrata — Lyrics
About Domine ad adjuvandum
This setting of the Vespers introit Deus, in adjutorium meum intende, and the subsequent versicle Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina, is by Giovanni Battista Mazzaferrata. The text is the standard opening for Vespers in the Roman Rite, followed by the Lesser Litany and the Gloria Patri. Mazzaferrata’s composition is for two sopranos, likely intended for use in liturgical settings during the season of Septuagesima through Easter, a period when the Alleluia is traditionally replaced by the phrase Laus tibi Domine Rex aeternae gloriae.
