Cantate Domino canticum novum by Guillaume Boni — Lyrics
About Cantate Domino canticum novum
Sing to the Lord a new song, sing and bless his name, for he has done wonderful things. This joyous Latin motet from the Renaissance urges us to praise God with instruments and song. The text, a psalm setting, overflows with exultation, calling for a new song to be sung. Guillaume Boni's setting for SATTB voices captures this spirit with rich harmonies and a compelling melodic line. The composer's masterful use of the five-part choir creates a fullness of sound that perfectly expresses the text's jubilant message. It is a vibrant and uplifting work, ideal for any sacred occasion where a powerful expression of praise is desired.
