Cantate Domino by Michael J. Drake, Jr. — 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 setting of the Latin text Cantate Domino is written for three-part women's voices (SSA). The joyful words, drawn from Psalm 98, call for praise and celebration, proclaiming that the Lord has done marvelous things and revealed his salvation to all nations. The music reflects this jubilant spirit, with energetic vocal lines and a vibrant texture that conveys the exultation of the text. The composer crafts an engaging interplay between the voices, creating a piece that is both musically interesting and spiritually uplifting, ideal for a choir seeking a celebratory sacred motet.
