Cantate Domino by Annibale Perini — 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 Cantate Domino
Annibale Perini's Cantate Domino is a substantial sacred motet for a large choir, scored for SSAATTB with additional SSATTBB and AATBBBB parts, creating a massive eight-part texture. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 96, calls for praise and adoration of God, proclaiming his greatness and glory among all nations. The music would have been conceived for a grand liturgical setting. This setting offers immense sonic possibilities for a choir seeking a powerful and complex work. The extended vocal forces allow for rich harmonic possibilities and dramatic contrasts, making it a compelling choice for significant occasions.
