Deus, in te speravi: Domine, non confundar in aeternum. (Ps. 70:3) III Ecce Deus adiuvat me, et Dominus susceptor est animae meae: averte mala inimicis meis, in veritate tua disperde illos, protector meus Domine. (Ps. 53:6–7) IV In voluntate tua, Domine, universa sunt posita, et non est qui possit resistere voluntati tuae: tu enim fecisti omnia, caelum et terram, et universa quae caeli ambitu continentur: Dominus universorum tu es. (Esth. 13:9–11) II Be thou my God, a protector, and a place of refuge, that thou mayest save me. O God, in thee have I hoped; O Lord, let me never be confounded. III Behold, God helpeth me, and the Lord upholdeth my soul; turn away evil from mine enemies, and in thy truth destroy them, O Lord, my protector. IV By thy will, O Lord, are all things established, and there is none that can withstand thy will; for thou hast made all things, heaven and earth, and all that is in the heavens: thou art Lord of all. In my view, the ancient Renaissance polyphony represents one of the highest peaks in the history of music. The purity of the vocal lines, set to sacred Latin texts, possesses a quality that feels timeless. With Quattro Mottetti (2014), of which the second, third, and fourth movements will receive their world premiere this evening, I wished to pay homage to this venerable musical tradition, reimagining it through a contemporary language. Rather than imitation, the work seeks a dialogue between past and present, allowing ancient principles to resonate within a modern sound world. All the texts, drawn from the Psalms and the Book of Esther, are heartfelt invocations: genuine cries for help addressed to God, expressing a longing to recover a lost order and to find protection and guidance. These pleas, written centuries ago, feel strikingly urgent today, speaking to a deep and universal human need that remains as relevant in our time as ever.
