Cantate Domino by Frédéric Debons — 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
Frédéric Debons' Cantate Domino is a sacred work for SAB choir, sung in Latin. The text is drawn from Psalm 96, a psalm of praise that calls for a new song to be sung to the Lord. It speaks of proclaiming his glory and wonders among all nations, acknowledging his greatness, and offering him glory and honour. The composer's setting invites the choir to express the jubilant and reverent spirit of the text. The music unfolds with a sense of gathering momentum, reflecting the exultant call to worship found within the psalm. This piece is well-suited for services or concerts seeking to convey profound spiritual gratitude and awe through choral music.
