This is a beautiful setting of the Lamentations text from Holy Saturday Matins. This piece never fails to stir devotion in adorers.
Psalm 30 has been set to Tone 4 psalmody so that it can be sung antiphonally to fit various liturgical needs. The fauxbourdon may be employed with a sharped fa depending on preference.
This carefully researched, beautifully engraved, and optimally arranged score will save you hours of preparation and rehearsal time, and be a joy for your singers to use.
I offer make it availble to you, so that you can spend less time at the computer and more time making music.
Thank you for supporting my work!
Bonus est Dóminus ~Palestrina | TTB or SSA a cappella | ca 3'
Bonus est Dóminus sperántibus in eum,
ánimae quaerénti illum. Lam 3.25
In te, Dómine, sperávi,
non confúndar in aetérnum:
in justítia tua líbera me.
Inclina ad me aurem tuam:
accéleras ut éruas me. Ps. 30
Translation
The Lord is good to those who hope in Him,
to the soul that seeks him.
In Thee, O Lord, have I hoped,
let me never be confounded:
deliver me in Thy justice.
Bow down thy ear to me:
make haste to deliver me.
