Etenim Dominus by Leonhardt Heydenhamer — Lyrics
In finem, filiis Core. Psalmus.
Benedixisti, Domine, terram tuam; avertisti captivitatem Jacob.
Remisisti iniquitatem plebis tuae; operuisti omnia peccata eorum.
Mitigasti omnem iram tuam; avertisti ab ira indignationis tuae.
Converte nos, Deus salutaris noster, et averte iram tuam a nobis.
Numquid in aeternum irasceris nobis? aut extendes iram tuam a generatione
in generationem?
Deus, tu conversus vivificabis nos, et plebs tua laetabitur in te.

About Etenim Dominus
This motet by Leonhardt Heydenhamer is suited for services of penitence or thanksgiving. The ATB voicing offers a rich sound, and the Latin text is drawn from Psalm 85, a plea for God's favour and forgiveness. The composer translates the penitential mood of the words into music that moves from supplication to joyful confidence. It is a fine example of sacred polyphony from the period, suitable for a choir looking to expand its repertoire of Latin motets.
