Domine, in virtute tua by Annibale Orgas — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David.
Domine, in virtute tua laetabitur rex, et super salutare tuum exsultabit vehementer.
Desiderium cordis ejus tribuisti ei, et voluntate labiorum ejus non fraudasti eum.
Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis; posuisti in capite ejus coronam de lapide pretioso.
Vitam petiit a te, et tribuisti ei longitudinem dierum, in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
Magna est gloria ejus in salutari tuo; gloriam et magnum decorem impones super eum.
Quoniam dabis eum in benedictionem in saeculum saeculi; laetificabis eum in gaudio
cum vultu tuo.
Quoniam rex sperat in Domino, et in misericordia Altissimi non commovebitur.

About Domine, in virtute tua
Annibale Orgas's Domine, in virtute tua is a motet for double SATB choir, written in Latin. The music opens with a grand, declamatory gesture, immediately establishing a majestic and powerful mood. The text, drawn from Psalm 20 (21), is a prayer for the king, invoking God's strength and celebrating his victory and glory. The composer's setting enhances the text's themes of divine protection and royal exultation. The double choir allows for rich antiphonal effects and a full, resonant sound, building impressive sonic architecture. This work offers a magnificent sonic experience, ideal for services or concerts where a truly resplendent choral sound is desired.
