Sustinuit anima mea

- Gary D. Penkala

 


PDF Sample

Use: General
Required Resources: SATB choir
Language: Latin

This simple yet beautiful motet uses text from Psalm 129 (130) in its Latin Vulgate form:

Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus,
Speravit anima mea in Domino.
Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus.

Translation: "My souls hopes in the Lord [part B]; my soul trust in His word [part A].

In ABA form, the texture is generally polyphonic, with homophonic cadential passages. It is particularly singable, with logical vocal parts and comfortable ranges:

Soprano - E to F#
Alto - B below middle C to D
Tenor - E to F#
Bass - low G to middle C

A perfect example of new traditional music, this piece would work equally well in an Ordinary or Extraordinary Form Mass.
