In aeternum

These words from Psalm 119 express a profound reliance on God's law, a commitment that will not be forgotten even in the face of those who wish to lead the singer astray. The composer William Mundy sets this Latin text as a motet for six-part choir (SATTBB), offering a rich and complex musical setting. The music unfolds the text's themes of divine instruction and salvation, moving from a sense of hopeful anticipation to a powerful affirmation of faith. This is a substantial and moving work for a skilled choir, ideal for services or concerts exploring themes of spiritual devotion and divine guidance.
