Cantate Domino by Théodore Dubois — Lyrics
Psalmus ipsi David. Cantate Domino canticum novum, quia mirabilia fecit. Salvavit sibi dextera ejus, et brachium sanctum ejus.
Notum fecit Dominus salutare suum ; in conspectu gentium revelavit justitiam suam.
Recordatus est misericordiæ suæ, et veritatis suæ domui Israël. Viderunt omnes termini terræ salutare Dei nostri.
Jubilate Deo, omnis terra ; cantate, et exsultate, et psallite.
Psallite Domino in cithara ; in cithara et voce psalmi ;

About Cantate Domino
This vibrant setting of Psalm 98 opens with jubilant exclamations, immediately establishing a mood of praise and thanksgiving. Théodore Dubois crafts an energetic and engaging musical experience for SATB choir. The Latin text, filled with calls to sing, rejoice, and make a joyful noise, is brought to life through dynamic writing. The composer's skill in imitative passages and rich harmonic language ensures that the choir can convey the grandeur of the psalmist's message. It is a powerful motet that would make a stirring addition to any sacred music collection, its joyous spirit resonating from the first note to the last.
