Cantate Domino by Marco Antonio Ingegneri — Lyrics
Psalmus ipsi David. Cantate Domino canticum novum, quia mirabilia fecit. Salvavit sibi dextera ejus, et brachium sanctum ejus.
Notum fecit Dominus salutare suum ; in conspectu gentium revelavit justitiam suam.
Recordatus est misericordiæ suæ, et veritatis suæ domui Israël. Viderunt omnes termini terræ salutare Dei nostri.
Jubilate Deo, omnis terra ; cantate, et exsultate, et psallite.
Psallite Domino in cithara ; in cithara et voce psalmi ;

About Cantate Domino
This setting of Psalm 98 opens with a joyful, uninhibited exuberance, with the double SATB choir creating a rich, resonant soundscape. The music immediately embraces the text's call to praise, 'Cantate Domino canticum novum,' with energetic rhythms and soaring lines. Ingegneri skillfully builds the drama, depicting the 'wondrous works' and the revelation of God's 'salvation' and 'righteousness.' The interplay between the two choirs allows for moments of both grand declamation and intimate reflection, mirroring the psalm's journey from universal praise to the judgment of the earth. This is a powerful, dynamic motet, ideal for bringing the full force of a large choir to bear on this jubilant biblical text.
