Et misericordia by Francisco Valls — Lyrics
;Vulgate
Magnificat, anima mea, Dominum
et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo, salutari meo.
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillæ suæ:
ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
Quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est, et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo,
dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
Deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles;
esurientes implevit bonis et divites dimisit inanes.
Suscepit Israel puerum suum recordatus misericordiæ suæ,

About Et misericordia
Francisco Valls's Et misericordia is a rich setting of the Magnificat for SSATB choir. The music opens with a palpable sense of awe and devotion, reflecting the text's exultant praise for God's merciful favour. Valls masterfully crafts the vocal lines, building textures that swell and recede with the unfolding narrative. The Latin text, drawn from the Magnificat, speaks of God's power, holiness, and enduring mercy, from generation to generation. The composer's sensitive treatment ensures that the spiritual message of humility, divine intervention, and everlasting remembrance is conveyed with profound emotional depth, making it a stirring addition to sacred repertoire.
