Cantate Domino (4 voices) by Hans Leo Hassler — Lyrics
About Cantate Domino (4 voices)
This motet is a setting of Psalm 96 (95), beginning with a joyful exhortation to sing a new song to the Lord. The text, in Latin, speaks of God's greatness and glory, calling for praise and adoration from all nations. It urges listeners to announce God's salvation and wonders among the peoples, proclaiming Him as mightier than all idols. Hassler's setting is for mixed voices (SATB) and also available for men's voices (TTBB), offering a rich and powerful expression of this psalm's jubilant message. The music likely reflects the grandeur and devotional spirit of the text, fitting for sacred services.
