Celebrate dominum by Christopher Gibbons — Lyrics
Celebrate dominum, proclamate nomen ejus.
Notas facite actiones ejus.
Canite Jehovam et laudate eum.
Confabulamini de omnibus miraculis ejus.
Quaerite Jehovam et robur ejus.
Quaerite faciem ejus in eternum.
Ille Jehova deus noster.

About Celebrate dominum
This setting of Psalm 105 vv. 1-4, 7-10, 12-14, 16-17 is a vibrant call to praise, suitable for any celebratory occasion. The text urges listeners to proclaim God's name, make known his deeds, and sing his praises, recalling his miracles and seeking his presence. The music is written for two-part choir (soprano and bass) and would be an effective anthem to lift the spirits and encourage reflection on divine power and glory. The Latin text, with its joyful exhortations and references to God's majesty, provides a rich foundation for Gibbons's musical interpretation.
