Note:
Cantate Domino is a lively setting of Psalm 96:1-3 for SATB (div.) choir and organ. Sung in Latin, the music is exuberant and boisterous with mixed meters and a challenging organ accompaniment, all driving to the final phrase sung in English, "Sing to the Lord a new song." Perfect as an offertory anthem or concert piece.
Text:
Cantate domino, canticum novum: cantate domino omnis terra.
Cantate domno, et benedicite nomini ejus: annuntiate de die in diem salutare ejus.
Annuntiate inter gentes gloriam ejus. annuntiate in omnibus populis mirabilia ejus.
Sing to the Lord a new song: sing to the Lord, all the whole earth.
Sing to the Lord, and praise his Name: tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his honour to the nations, and his wonders to all peoples.
Psalm 96:1-3
