Cantabo Domino

Velthur Tognoni’s setting of Cantabo Domino is a motet for SATB choir, written in Latin. The text, drawn from the Psalms, speaks of praising God throughout one’s life, finding joy in Him, and imploring the disappearance of sinners from the earth. The final section, 'Benedic anima mea, Domino', is a direct invocation to the soul to bless the Lord. This sacred work offers a powerful expression of faith and devotion, suitable for liturgical settings or concert performance. The rich harmonies and contrapuntal interplay typical of the motet tradition are explored here, providing a substantial and rewarding challenge for the choir.
