Domine, non secundum by Matthias Greitter — Lyrics
Domine, non secundum peccata nostra quae fecimus nos[facias nobis],
neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuas nobis.
Domine, ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum antiquarum: cito anticipent nos misericordiae tuae. Quia pauperes facti sumus nimis.

About Domine, non secundum
This sacred motet for two voices, ST, sets a poignant Latin text that forms part of the Litany of the Saints. The words are a plea for God to act not according to our sins or misdeeds, but to remember His mercy and deliver us. The composer Matthias Greitter offers a devotional setting that would be suitable for services of penitence or reflection, particularly during Lent. The direct address to the Lord, imploring His help and forgiveness, is matched by the clarity of the two-part writing, making it accessible for choirs seeking to explore the rich tradition of Renaissance sacred music.
