Domine non secundum peccata nostra by Maistre Jhan — 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 peccata nostra
This setting of a penitential Latin text by Maistre Jhan would be suitable for services of confession and absolution, or any occasion where the choir wishes to express profound repentance. The five-part texture (STTTB) allows for rich harmonic possibilities and varied expressive contrasts. The text pleads for God to act not according to our sins, but according to his mercy, asking for help and deliverance for the sake of his name. Jhan’s careful setting reflects the earnest supplication of the words, offering a powerful musical prayer for forgiveness and redemption.
