Domine Deus Rex magne

This impressive motet for SSATTB voices by Annibale Padovano is ideal for a solemn occasion, perhaps during Lent or Advent. Sung in Latin, the text is a fervent plea to God, the great and omnipotent King, asking for His wrath to be averted and for deliverance from tribulation. The choir will powerfully convey the desperate supplication, followed by a resolute invocation of God's holy name by the Catholic Church and its people. Padovano's rich, eight-part writing offers a rewarding challenge for experienced choirs, creating a magnificent sound world suitable for significant liturgical moments or concert programming.
