Domine ne in furore tuo by Francesco de Layolle — 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 tuo
Francesco de Layolle's motet Domine ne in furore tuo is a powerful setting of Psalm 6 for four-part choir (ATTB). The text, a deeply personal prayer, pleads for God's mercy in times of distress. The composer responds to the penitential words with music that reflects the raw emotion of the psalmist, moving from urgent supplication to a hopeful plea for deliverance. The Latin text, characteristic of sacred motets, expresses profound spiritual struggle and the yearning for divine comfort and salvation. This work offers a compelling opportunity for choirs to explore the expressive potential of Renaissance vocal polyphony, bringing to life the timeless human experience of faith and repentance.
