Poulenc Sacred Music
Collegium’s recording offers an extensive selection of Poulenc’s sacred choral music with the Gloria as centrepiece. Timor et tremor was written in 1939.
Timor et tremor venerunt super me, et caligo cecidit super me.
Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam in te confidit anima mea.
Exaudi, Deus, deprecationem meam, quia refugium moum es tu et adjutor fortis.
Domine, invocavi te, non confundar.
*This text is not found in any liturgical source and may have been compiled by Poulenc himself from biblical phrases.
Fear and trembling came upon me, and darkness fell upon me.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for my soul trusted in thee.
Hear my prayer, O God, for thou art my refuge and my strong helper.
Lord, I have called upon thee, let me not be confounded.
