Cantate Domino by Rinaldo del Mel — 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 motet, Cantate Domino, is drawn from Psalm 98, a text of joyous praise. The composer Rinaldo del Mel sets the Latin words in a rich SSATB texture, ideal for services or concerts during festivals. The music calls for a confident and declamatory delivery as it proclaims the wonders God has wrought and the salvation revealed to all nations. Jubilate Deo omnis terra, sing all the earth, the text exclaims, urging the choir to lift their voices in exultation with a variety of instruments imagined in the text, from the harp to the trumpet. This motet would offer a powerful and uplifting moment, particularly fitting for occasions celebrating divine justice and mercy.
