In exitu Israël a 4 by Amadio Freddi — Lyrics
Alleluja. In exitu Israël de Aegypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro,
facta est Judaea sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.
Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.
Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.
Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugisti? et tu, Jordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?
montes, exsultastis sicut arietes? et colles, sicut agni ovium?
A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob:
qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.
Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam:
super misericordia tua et veritate tua;
nequando dicant gentes: Ubi est Deus eorum?
Deus autem noster in caelo; omnia quaecumque voluit fecit.
Simulacra gentium argentum et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
Os habent, et non loquentur; oculos habent, et non videbunt.
Aures habent, et non audient; nares habent, et non odorabunt.

About In exitu Israël a 4
This setting of Psalm 113 (114) is suitable for SATB choir in Latin. The text, In exitu Israël a 4, recounts the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, a pivotal moment in their history, and celebrates God's power over nature. The psalm's dramatic imagery of the sea fleeing and rivers turning back finds expression in the music, likely intended for Vespers. Amadio Freddi's composition offers a rich exploration of this sacred text, suitable for services marking significant events or celebrating divine intervention. The work aims to bring the awe-inspiring narrative of the exodus to life through four-part harmony.
