Dixit Dominus by Johann Kaspar Ferdinand Fischer — 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
Johann Kaspar Ferdinand Fischer's Dixit Dominus is a powerful setting of Psalm 109, a key text from the Vespers liturgy. Scored for SATB choir, this motet showcases Fischer's mastery within the sacred choral tradition. The Latin text, proclaiming God's power and the Messiah's eternal priesthood, is treated with dramatic flair. The music follows the unfolding narrative of the psalm, from the powerful pronouncements of divine authority to the declaration of eternal priesthood. This work offers a substantial and rewarding challenge for choirs seeking to explore the rich repertoire of Baroque sacred music.
