Meditabor in mandatis tuis (I Will Meditate On Your Commandments)
SKU:
This haunting setting of Psalm 118 (119): 47, 48: "I will meditate on your commandments which I love exceedingly..." is both meditative and powerful. The chant-like melody is repeated as a round, building from unison, to two-part, to four-part, making this piece very accessible. The chant-like melody leads to a short homophonic section, following by a meditative return to the main melody. (Available in SSAA, TTBB, and SATB voicings.)
- Voicing: SSAA, TTBB, or SATB ensemble
- Instrumentation: a cappella
- Text Author: Psalm 118 (119): 47, 48

PSALM 118 (119): 47, 48
Meditabor in mandatis tuis,
quae dilexi valde:
et levabo manus meas ad mandata tua,
quae dilexi.
I will meditate on your commandments
which I love exceedingly;
I will lift up my hands towards your commandments
which I love.
Meditabor in mandatis tuis,
