Domine, Quis Habitabit III by Robert White — Lyrics
Canticum David. Domine, quis habitabit in tabernaculo tuo?
aut quis requiescet in monte sancto tuo?
Qui ingreditur sine macula, et operatur iustitiam;
qui loquitur veritatem in corde suo:
qui non egit dolum in lingua sua, nec fecit proximo suo malum,
et opprobrium non accepit adversus proximos suos.

About Domine, Quis Habitabit III
Robert White's motet Domine, Quis Habitabit III sets a Latin text from the Psalms, attributed to David. The music is scored for an impressive eight voices, divided SSAB AATT BB, allowing for rich harmonic colour and intricate contrapuntal interplay. The text poses a profound question: "Lord, who shall dwell in your tabernacle?" and proceeds to describe the righteous individual who walks blamelessly, speaks truth, and acts with integrity, one who "shall not be moved for ever." White's masterful setting explores these themes with both devotional solemnity and musical invention, creating a powerful and moving sacred work.
