Een mensch wou mi verdrucken by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
1. Een mensch wou mi verdrucken Heer,
daer om wilt mijns ontfermen,
Hi trileert mi altijt meer
dus wilt U knecht beschermen.
Veel vianden bestriden,
my hier dach ende nacht,
en brengen tot mi al haer macht
wel seer onsacht:
nochtans moet ick dat liden.

About Een mensch wou mi verdrucken
This setting of a Dutch hymn text for SAB voices opens with a gentle, flowing melody, soon joined by imitative vocal lines. The composer skillfully develops the musical material, creating a warm and resonant texture that reflects the prayerful nature of the text. The lyrics express a plea for protection from enemies and suffering, finding solace and hope in divine mercy and healing. The SAB voicing allows for a rich harmonic palette while remaining accessible for a variety of choirs. This piece offers a thoughtful and devotional musical setting of a heartfelt psalm of trust and perseverance.
