Cantate Domino a 9 by Jacob Handl — 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 9
Jacob Handl's Cantate Domino a 9 is a powerful sacred motet for a large choir, scored for SSAT.ATTBB voices. Set in Latin, it draws its text from Psalm 98, calling for joyous praise to God for His wondrous deeds and salvation revealed to all nations. The music reflects the jubilant exhortations of the text, with sections urging singing, exultation, and playing instruments. The psalm's verses speak of God's justice, mercy, and truth, culminating in a call for the earth and sea to rejoice as God comes to judge. Handl's masterful writing ensures a rich and dynamic sonic experience, fitting for a grand choral statement.
