Domine Deus meus by Philippe de Monte — Lyrics
Domine, Deus meus.
O bonum incomprehensibile,
te quaero, te desidero,
te ineffabilem Deum invoco.
Certo enim scio te existere summum bonum,
te aeternam sapientiam, aeternam bonitatem,

About Domine Deus meus
Philippe de Monte's motet Domine Deus meus sets a deeply personal prayer of supplication. The text expresses a profound longing for God, acknowledging Him as the ultimate good, eternal wisdom, and boundless mercy. The composer responds to the text's fervent pleas with rich SATTB harmonies. The music vividly portrays the text's contrast between divine perfection and human need, culminating in a heartfelt appeal for divine regard. This motet is a moving exploration of faith and the seeking soul, characteristic of sacred polyphony of the late Renaissance.
