Fest-Chor by Ignaz Ritter von Seyfried — Lyrics
Domine judicium Tuum regi da,
et justitiam tuam sapientiam filio regis.
Domine judicium tuum, regi nostro, regi da,
et justitiam tuam ac sapientiam da filio,
judicium da filio Domine, justitiam tuam,
da justitiam ac sapientiam filio, filio regis,

About Fest-Chor
This setting of a Latin text, Domine judicium Tuum regi da, would be appropriate for a formal occasion. The words are a plea for divine justice and wisdom for a king and his son, reflecting a common theme in sacred music. Ignaz Ritter von Seyfried's Fest-Chor is written for SATB choir, making it suitable for a mixed-voice ensemble. The composer's work in this motet style offers a rich harmonic language suitable for services or concerts where substantial sacred music is desired. Its structure and text lend themselves to a powerful and resonant delivery, aiming for a grand and stately effect.
