Dixit Dominus by Ruggiero Giovannelli — Lyrics
Psalmus David. Dixit Dominus Domino meo: sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos
scabellum pedum tuorum.
Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio
inimicorum tuorum.
Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae in splendoribus sanctorum:
ex utero, ante luciferum, genui te.

About Dixit Dominus
Ruggiero Giovannelli was an Italian composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. His Dixit Dominus is a powerful setting of Psalm 109, a Vesper Psalm traditionally sung during evening prayer. This sacred motet, written in Latin for SATB choir, vividly portrays the text's majestic pronouncements of divine authority and power. The music reflects the text's confident assertion of God's dominion, with dynamic contrasts and rich harmonies characteristic of the period. It is a significant work for choirs seeking to explore the sacred repertoire of the 16th and 17th centuries, offering a challenging yet rewarding musical experience.
