Domine Dominus noster a 7 by Orazio Vecchi — Lyrics
In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus David.
Domine, Dominus noster, quam admirabile est nomen tuum in universa terra! quoniam elevata est magnificentia tua super caelos.
Ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem propter inimicos tuos,
ut destruas inimicum et ultorem.
Quoniam videbo caelos tuos,opera digitorum tuorum, lunam et stellas
quae tu fundasti.
Quid est homo, quod memor es eius? aut filius hominis, quoniam visitas eum?

About Domine Dominus noster a 7
Orazio Vecchi, a celebrated composer of the late Renaissance, is known for his mastery of both sacred and secular genres. This motet, Domine Dominus noster, is a significant example of his sacred output. Scored for an impressive seven voices (AATTBBB or AATTBarBB), it is set in Latin, drawing its text from the Psalms. The work expresses profound awe at God's creation and majesty, marveling at the heavens and the place of humanity within the divine order. Vecchi's setting is characterized by its rich polyphony and dramatic intensity, reflecting the text's exclamations of wonder and praise. The motet is a substantial and intricate work, suitable for choirs seeking a challenging and rewarding exploration of Renaissance sacred music.
