Cantate Domino by Adriano Banchieri — Lyrics
Laus cantici ipsi David. Venite, exsultemus Domino; jubilemus Deo salutari nostro;
praeoccupemus faciem ejus in confessione, et in psalmis jubilemus ei:
quoniam Deus magnus Dominus, et rex magnus super omnes deos.
Quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terrae, et altitudines montium ipsius sunt;
quoniam ipsius est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et siccam manus ejus formaverunt.
Venite, adoremus, et procidamus, et ploremus ante Dominum qui fecit nos:
quia ipse est Dominus Deus noster, et nos populus pascuae ejus, et oves manus ejus.

About Cantate Domino
This SATB motet by Adriano Banchieri sets a jubilant Latin text from Psalm 95, which calls for joyous praise and adoration of God. The music is likely to reflect the exultant nature of the words, appropriate for a setting within a service or a concert of sacred music. Banchieri, a prominent composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque, was known for his skill in writing for voices. This setting would suit a choir looking for a substantial, uplifting work in Latin that draws upon the rich tradition of Renaissance sacred polyphony.
