Domine ne in furore tuo by Stefano Felis — 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
Stefano Felis's SAATB motet Domine ne in furore tuo is a powerful setting of Psalm 6, a penitential prayer expressing profound distress and a plea for divine mercy. The composer uses the Latin text to explore themes of suffering and the hope for salvation. The music reflects the text's emotional weight, with intricate vocal interplay between the five parts.
The motet's texture shifts to mirror the supplication and despair found in the psalm. Felis crafts a compelling and dramatic musical experience, drawing the listener into the psalmist's urgent cry for comfort and deliverance. This sacred work offers a rich opportunity for expressive choral singing.
