About Cantate Domino
This festive motet, Cantate Domino, by Andreas Hakenberger is ideal for occasions of thanksgiving and praise. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 98, calls for joyful singing to the Lord, celebrating His marvellous deeds. Hakenberger sets this exuberant text for a substantial choir, split into SSAB and SATB parts, creating rich and varied textures. The music mirrors the text’s energy, urging the singers to offer a new song with joyful acclamation and praise. The interplay between the two choir sections allows for dynamic contrast and antiphonal effects, making this a powerful and engaging liturgical or concert work.
