Domine Deus omnipotens by Nicolas Gombert — Lyrics
Domine Deus omnipotens Pater,
ne permittas nos perire
quia tuae creaturae sumus,
sed concedas nobis spatium paenitendi.
Ut ante diem exitus nostri

About Domine Deus omnipotens
Nicolas Gombert was a leading composer of the Franco-Flemish school during the High Renaissance. This sacred motet, Domine Deus omnipotens, is written for two contrasting choirs, SSATB and AATTB, creating rich polyphonic textures. The Latin text is a heartfelt plea for divine mercy and guidance. It asks God not to let his creatures perish, but to grant them space for repentance so that they may please Him and reach their heavenly home through Christ. The interplay between the two choirs allows Gombert to explore a wide dynamic and textural range, offering compelling opportunities for expressive interpretation.
