Curiosity by Stephen Jenks — 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 Curiosity
Stephen Jenks's Curiosity is a sacred choral work for SATB choir. It is set in Latin and English, drawing its text from Psalm 96. The opening verse speaks of singing a new song to the Lord and proclaiming his salvation among the nations. The music reflects the grandeur and praise inherent in the text, appropriate for occasions of thanksgiving and celebration. This setting offers a rich harmonic and rhythmic experience, suitable for a choir seeking a substantial anthem with both a familiar liturgical language and the resonant beauty of Latin.
