Cantate Domino by Alvise Balbi — Lyrics
Cantate Domino quoniam magnifice fecit: annuntiate hoc in universa terra.
Exulta et lauda habitatio Syon quia magnus in medio tui Sanctus Israel.
About Cantate Domino
This setting of the Cantate Domino text would be appropriate for a general liturgical occasion or a sacred concert. Alvise Balbi's SATB motet uses the joyful opening verses of Psalm 98, calling for praise and proclamation of God's magnificent deeds throughout the earth. The Latin text speaks of exultation and rejoicing, with the Holy One of Israel being magnified in its midst. Balbi's composition for four-part choir captures the celebratory spirit of these words. The secure tonal language and the clear, direct setting of the jubilant text make this a rewarding piece for a mixed-voice choir looking for well-crafted Renaissance sacred polyphony.
