Domine Ne In Furore Tua Arguas Me a 6 by Claudio Monteverdi — Lyrics
In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David. Pro octava.
Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me, neque in ira tua corripias me.
Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam infirmus sum; sana me, Domine,
quoniam conturbata sunt ossa mea.
Et anima mea turbata est valde; sed tu, Domine, usquequo?
Convertere, Domine, et eripe animam meam; salvum me fac propter misericordiam tuam.
Quoniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui; in inferno autem quis confitebitur tibi?

About Domine Ne In Furore Tua Arguas Me a 6
This motet by Claudio Monteverdi opens with a sense of deep supplication. The six-part choir (SATTBB) enters with imitative polyphony, creating a rich texture that reflects the profound distress of the opening text. The Latin words, drawn from Psalm 6, express a plea for mercy in the face of suffering and weakness. Monteverdi masterfully employs the voices to convey the psalmist’s anguish, with moments of intense chromaticism and dissonant harmony underscoring the emotional weight of the prayer. The setting moves from the personal lament to a broader appeal for divine intervention, offering a powerful and moving musical experience for a skilled choir.
