Afferte Domino by Giovanni Rovetta — Lyrics
Psalmus David,in consummatione tabernaculi. Afferte Domino, filii Dei, afferte Domino filios arietum.
Afferte Domino gloriam et honorem; afferte Domino gloriam nomini ejus; adorate Dominum in atrio sancto ejus.
Vox Domini super aquas; Deus majestatis intonuit: Dominus super aquas multas.
Vox Domini in virtute; vox Domini in magnificentia.
Vox Domini confringentis cedros, et confringet Dominus cedros Libani:
et comminuet eas, tamquam vitulum Libani, et dilectus quemadmodum filius unicornium.

About Afferte Domino
This majestic motet by Giovanni Rovetta, Afferte Domino, is a powerful setting of Psalm 29 for SATB choir. Sung in Latin, its text, drawn from the Psalms, speaks of the awesome power and glory of God, using vivid imagery of thunder, storms, and the foundational might of the natural world. Rovetta's composition captures the grandeur of these scriptural verses, offering a compelling musical experience. It is suitable for services or concerts celebrating God's majesty and power, especially during seasons like Pentecost or Trinity Sunday, or any occasion where a choir wishes to express awe and reverence through a substantial sacred work.
