Cantate Domino (2) by Nobuaki Izawa — 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 (2)
Nobuaki Izawa's Cantate Domino is a powerful SATB motet setting a Latin text that draws heavily from Psalm 96. The composer crafts a vibrant musical setting for the jubilant call to praise the Lord with a new song. The text, drawn from the Old Testament, speaks of God's greatness and magnificence, urging all nations to announce His glory and sing of His wonders. Izawa's music embraces this spirit of exultation, creating a dynamic and inspiring piece suitable for a communion or sacred motet setting. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures and a broad dynamic range to convey the text's profound message of adoration and awe.
