Domine non est exaltatum a6 by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
‘’Canticum graduum David.’’Domine, non est exaltatum cor meum, neque elati sunt oculi mei,
neque ambulavi in magnis, neque in mirabilibus super me.
Si non humiliter sentiebam,sed exaltavi animam meam: sicut ablactatus est super matre sua,

About Domine non est exaltatum a6
Orlando di Lasso's motet Domine non est exaltatum is set for a six-part choir (SSATTB). The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 131, expresses profound humility before God. The singer declares that their heart is not proud, nor their eyes haughty, and they have not pursued great or marvellous things beyond their scope. The piece unfolds with a gentle confession of humility, likening the soul's peace to that of a weaned child resting on its mother. It concludes with a hopeful affirmation of trust in the Lord, a sentiment that resonates through the ages. This sacred motet offers a rich contrapuntal texture, exploring the devotional message with musical sensitivity.
