Domine in auxilium by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
Domine in auxilium meum respice.
Confundantur et revereantur qui quaerunt animam meam ut auferant eam.
About Domine in auxilium
Orlando di Lasso's Domine in auxilium is a sacred motet for SATB choir, setting a powerful Latin text. The opening words, 'Domine in auxilium meum respice', translate to 'O Lord, look to my aid'. This plea is followed by the verses 'Confundantur et revereantur qui quaerunt animam meam ut auferant eam', meaning 'Let them be confounded and ashamed who seek after my soul to take it away'. The motet reflects the dramatic and expressive style characteristic of Lasso's sacred works. It belongs to the tradition of Renaissance motet composition, offering choir directors a compelling choice for liturgical or concert programming.
