"Qui non diligit te" is a sacred motet composed by Sébastien de Brossard, a French composer and music theorist of the Baroque era. The piece was composed in the late 17th century, around 1690, and was premiered in Paris, France. The motet is written for four voices, with a soprano, alto, tenor, and bass part. It is divided into three movements, with each movement featuring a different text. The first movement is based on the text "Qui non diligit te, Domine" (He who does not love you, Lord), the second movement on "Quam dilecta tabernacula tua, Domine" (How lovely are your dwelling places, Lord), and the third movement on "Beati qui habitant in domo tua" (Blessed are those who dwell in your house). The first movement is characterized by its slow and mournful melody, with the voices singing in a homophonic texture. The second movement is more lively and joyful, with the voices singing in a polyphonic texture. The third movement is a return to the slower and more contemplative style of the first movement, with the voices once again singing in a homophonic texture. Overall, "Qui non diligit te" is a beautiful example of Baroque sacred music, with its use of rich harmonies, expressive melodies, and intricate counterpoint. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of Sébastien de Brossard, and remains a beloved piece of music to this day.
