Cantate Domino by Jakob Reiner — Lyrics
Cantate Domino canticum novum canticum novum,
laus eius in ecclesia sanctorum.
Laetetur Israel in eo qui fecit eum
et filiae Syon exultent in rege suo.
Laudent nomen eius in choro
in tympano et psalterio psallant ei

About Cantate Domino
The text, drawn from Psalm 149, calls for joyous praise to God, celebrating His people and His works. Jakob Reiner sets this exuberant Latin text for SSATTB choir. This sacred motet encourages a full-throated expression of devotion, with the choir urged to sing a new song and to praise God in the assembly. The composer evokes a sense of collective jubilation, with the singers encouraged to rejoice in the Lord and exult in His might. The text speaks of saints exulting in glory and finding joy, painting a picture of spiritual rapture and divine favour.
