Hinsdale by Samuel Holyoke — Lyrics
Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
Multiplicatae sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt.
Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
Dominus pars haereditatis meae, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues haereditatem meam mihi.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris; etenim haereditas mea praeclara est mihi.

About Hinsdale
This setting opens with a sense of supplication, the voices weaving together in a texture that builds towards the central plea for divine protection. The composer Samuel Holyoke crafts a compelling setting of the Latin text, which draws from Psalm 15 and Psalm 16. The English translation clarifies the devotional intent, focusing on trust in God as a source of strength and inheritance. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic exploration, reflecting the profound spiritual sentiment of the words. This sacred work offers a moving experience for choirs seeking a piece that balances musical craftsmanship with deep theological expression.
