Claudio Monteverdi
Beatus Vir ~ Psalm 112
[Beatus Primo à 6 Voci concertato con 2 Violini & 3 Viole da brazzo overo Tromboni quali anco si ponno lasciare]
Gentlemen of the Chappell,
His Majesties Sagbutts and Cornets
Peter Bassano, director

[…] Beatus Vir, which was probably composed in 1630, was published in the composer’s 1641 collection Selva Morale e Spirituale. The motet, a setting of Psalm 112, is a superb example of Monteverdi’s dramatic style. It contrasts pairs or small groups of voices with the weight of the full chorus, a technique known as stile concertato - one of the most characteristic features of baroque music. The piece is scored for six-part chorus and soloists, with organ, basso continuo and two obbligato violin parts.

Beatus vir qui timet Dominum,
In mandatis ejus volet nimis.
Potens in terra erit semen ejus,
Generatio rectorum benedicetur.
Gloria et divitiæ in domo ejus,
Et justitia ejus manet
In sæculum sæculi.
Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis,
Misericors et miserator et justus.
Jucundus homo,
Qui miseretur et commodat,
Disponet sermones suos in judicio.
Quia in æternum non commovebitur.
In memoria æterna erit justus,
Ab auditione mala non timebit.
Paratum cor ejus sperare in Domino.
Confirmatum est cor ejus;
Non commovebitur
Donec despiciat inimicos suos.
Dispersit, dedit pauperibus,
Justitia ejus manet
In sæculum sæculi.
Cornu ejus exaltabitur in gloria.
Peccator videbit et irascetur,
Dentibus suis fremet et tabescet;
Desiderium peccatorum peribit.
