Cantate Domino by Alexander Gretchaninoff — 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
Alexander Gretchaninoff’s Cantate Domino is a vibrant and engaging setting of Latin liturgical text. The music opens with a powerful declaration, quickly developing into a rich, imitative texture across the SATB choir. The composer masterfully builds momentum, with jubilant melodic lines and dynamic contrasts that reflect the exultant nature of the psalm. The piece celebrates God's greatness and calls for all nations to announce his glory and wondrous deeds. It is a jubilant and celebratory work, suitable for a choir looking to express deep faith through compelling and sonically rewarding music. The choir's energy and devotional spirit are central to its effective presentation.
