Cantate Domino by Philipp Dulichius — Lyrics
Cantate Domino canticum novum,
laus eius in ecclesia sanctorum.
Laetetur Israel in eo qui fecit eum,
et filiae Zion exultent in rege suo.
Laudent nomen eius in choro,

About Cantate Domino
This joyful setting of Psalm 149, Cantate Domino canticum novum, overflows with praise. The text urges a new song for the Lord, celebrating his people and their king, with instruments and voices joining in joyful exultation. Dulichius captures this spirit in his energetic motet for mixed choir. The Latin text speaks of the happiness of Israel in their creator and the daughters of Zion rejoicing in their king. It calls for praise in chorus, with the timbrel and psaltery, and for the saints to be glorified in their beds. This is a vibrant anthem of thanksgiving, suitable for any sacred occasion.
