Cantate Domino a 6 by Giovanni Gabrieli — 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 a 6
This powerful motet by Giovanni Gabrieli is a grand setting of a psalm text calling for joyful praise to God. The opening verses, drawn from Psalm 96, speak of a new song for the Lord, urging all the earth to sing and announce his salvation from day to day. The music reflects the text's exultation, with the composer's characteristic Venetian polychoral style lending immense splendour. Scored for two choirs (SATTBB and SAATTB), Cantate Domino a 6 offers a truly resplendent sound world, ideal for festive occasions within a liturgical setting, demanding both brilliance and control from its singers.
