Cantate Domino a 2 by Claudio Monteverdi — 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 a 2
Claudio Monteverdi's Cantate Domino a 2 is a sacred motet for two sopranos. The text, drawn from Psalm 98, calls for joyous praise to God for his marvelous deeds and salvation. The opening calls for a new song, for God has done wondrous things, revealing his justice to all nations. The composer captures the exultant spirit of the psalm, urging all the earth to sing and make joyful noise with instruments and voices. The two soprano parts weave together, creating a bright and celebratory texture that reflects the text's message of jubilation and the coming judgment of the earth.
