Domine, si

This motet for SATB voices, set in Latin, draws on a devotional text expressing humble reliance on divine mercy. The words articulate a profound plea for understanding in the face of divine judgment, asking who could stand if every wrongdoing were noted. Yet, this is swiftly followed by an affirmation of faith and trust in God's word and His boundless compassion and redemption, finding solace and strength in Him. The music reflects this journey from supplication to unwavering hope, culminating in a joyful Alleluia. Josef von Eybler's setting captures the profound spiritual sentiment of the text with its sacred musical language.
