Cantate Domino by Giovanni Croce — 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 Domino
Giovanni Croce’s Cantate Domino is a vibrant sacred motet with a joyful and exultant character. The text, drawn from Psalm 96 and 1 Chronicles, calls for praise and thanksgiving to the Lord. It urges the singers to proclaim God's glory and wondrous deeds among all nations. The composer masterfully sets this celebratory text, creating a rich polyphonic texture that builds in grandeur and intensity. The motet is scored for SATB, ATTB, and TTBB choirs, offering flexibility in performance. The Latin text is sung with a sense of profound awe and overflowing praise, a fitting expression of the biblical verses. This work is a powerful example of Renaissance sacred polyphony, designed to inspire and uplift.
