Cantate Domino canticum novum by Philipp Dulichius — 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 canticum novum
Philipp Dulichius's Cantate Domino is a majestic motet for double choir (SATB.SATB). The text, taken from Psalm 96, is a jubilant call to sing a new song to the Lord, proclaiming his glory and mighty deeds among all nations. The composer harnesses the power of the double choir to create a rich, antiphonal texture, building to grand declarations of God's greatness and awesome power. The music effectively conveys the sense of awe and praise inherent in the sacred Latin text, making it a powerful setting for liturgical use or concert performance.
