Cantate Domino by Stefano Felis — 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
Stefano Felis's setting of the Latin text Cantate Domino is a powerful motet for double choir (SATB.SATB). The words are drawn from Psalm 98, calling for a new song to the Lord because of His wondrous deeds. The text rejoices in God's saving power, His justice revealed to the nations, and His remembrance of mercy towards Israel. It urges all the earth to jubilate and sing praises with instruments and voices. The music reflects the text's exultant message, with the two choirs likely used to create a grand, antiphonal effect, building towards the climactic declaration that the Lord has come to judge the earth.
