Dixit Dominus a 8 by Giacomo Benincasa — 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 a 8
This setting of Psalm 109 (110) opens with the powerful declaration "The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou on my right hand." The Latin text, drawn from the Book of Psalms, continues to proclaim the might and eternal priesthood of the Messiah, foretelling divine judgment and ultimate triumph. Giacomo Benincasa's Dixit Dominus is conceived for double choir, SATB and SATB, creating a grand and resonant soundscape suitable for the magnificent subject matter. The extensive choral forces allow for rich antiphonal effects and a full, immersive sonic experience, ideal for a significant liturgical occasion or a substantial concert programme.
