Cantabo Domino

Matthias Eckel's Cantabo Domino is a sacred motet for double choir, ATTBB and STTTB. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 13:6, translates as 'I will sing to the Lord who has been good to me, and I will make music to the name of the Lord, the Most High.' Eckel's setting is a powerful expression of praise and gratitude, calling for a large, resonant choral sound. The demanding two-choir structure offers an exciting opportunity for contrasting sonorities and spatial effects, making it a compelling choice for advanced choirs seeking to explore rich polyphony and dynamic variation within the sacred choral repertoire.
