In voluntate tua

This motet is ideal for entrance processions or other liturgical settings, drawing its text from the Psalms and the Old Testament. The Latin lyrics speak of God's absolute power and divine will, proclaiming "In your will, O Lord, all things are placed" and "You have made all things, heaven and earth." The SATB voicing allows for a rich and full sound, suitable for a solemn occasion. The composer Jeffrey Quick sets this profound text with a directness that emphasizes its theological message. The inclusion of "Beati immaculati in via" from Psalm 119 adds a layer of contemplation on living a righteous life according to God's law.
