Ich glaub' und darum rede ich a 3v by Benedictus Ducis — Lyrics
Alleluja. Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus vocem orationis meae.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi, et in diebus meis invocabo.
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis; et pericula inferni invenerunt me.
Tribulationem et dolorem inveni,
et nomen Domini invocavi: o Domine, libera animam meam.
Misericors Dominus et justus, et Deus noster miseretur.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus; humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.
Convertere, anima mea, in requiem tuam, quia Dominus benefecit tibi:
quia eripuit animam meam de morte, oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.

About Ich glaub' und darum rede ich a 3v
Benedictus Ducis's setting of Ich glaub' und darum rede ich is a motet for three voices (STT). The text is a rich blend of Latin and German, drawing from scripture to express profound faith and personal testimony. It begins with a triumphant Alleluja, proclaiming "I believed, therefore I spoke," a sentiment that echoes through the musical setting. The music vividly portrays the struggle and distress described in the text, with moments of intense tribulation followed by confident invocation and eventual deliverance. The composer masterfully weaves the vocal lines together, creating a texture that reflects the journey from anguish to the peace found in the Lord's mercy and protection. The interplay of the three voices supports the declaration of faith and the profound gratitude for being saved from death and tears.
