About In Deo salutare meum
In Deo salutare meum is a powerful sacred motet for double choir, SSATTB, by Orlando di Lasso. The Latin text expresses profound trust in God, drawing from the Psalms. The opening lines speak of the soul's submission to God and the assurance of salvation, a theme that permeates the work. The composer vividly portrays the struggle against human enemies and internal doubt, contrasting outward praise with inner malice, before returning to a resolute affirmation of faith and hope in divine aid. This is music of intense personal devotion and unwavering spiritual conviction, delivered with the rich sonority of two choirs.
