Cantate Domino, Op. 296, No. 6 by Robert Führer — Lyrics
Alleluja. Cantate Domino canticum novum;
laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.
Laetetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum,
et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.
Laudent nomen ejus in choro;
in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.
Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo,
et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.
Exsultabunt sancti in gloria;

About Cantate Domino, Op. 296, No. 6
Robert Führer's Cantate Domino is a sacred motet for SAB voices setting a Latin text drawn from Psalm 149. The text jubilantly calls for praise to God with new songs, instruments, and joyful celebration. It speaks of God's pleasure in his people and the exaltation of the meek. The psalm then shifts to a more martial tone, describing the saints carrying out God's vengeance upon the nations and binding their kings in chains, bringing judgment upon them. This glorious destiny, it proclaims, is for all God's holy ones. Führer's setting offers a compelling musical interpretation of this rich and varied biblical text.
