Cantate al Signore un cantico nuovo by Christoph Dalitz — Lyrics
Canticum ipsi David, quando domus aedificabatur post captivitatem.
Cantate Domino canticum novum; cantate Domino omnis terra.
Cantate Domino, et benedicite nomini ejus; annuntiate de die in diem salutare ejus.
Annuntiate inter gentes gloriam ejus; in omnibus populis mirabilia ejus.
Quoniam magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis: terribilis est super omnes deos.
Quoniam omnes dii gentium daemonia; Dominus autem caelos fecit.
Confessio et pulchritudo in conspectu ejus; sanctimonia et magnificentia in sanctificatione ejus.
Afferte Domino, patriae gentium, afferte Domino gloriam et honorem;

About Cantate al Signore un cantico nuovo
Christoph Dalitz's Cantate al Signore is a sacred setting for solo AT voices. The text is a powerful psalm of praise, likely from Psalm 96, which speaks of singing a new song to the Lord, announcing his salvation among the nations, and recognizing his greatness and glory above all gods. The composer employs a folk-song idiom to imbue this ancient text with a fresh and accessible character, making it suitable for a variety of liturgical or concert settings. The straightforward melodic lines and clear harmonic language make it a rewarding choice for a soloist looking to convey a message of joy and reverence.
