Cantate Domino a5 by Orlando di Lasso — 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 a5
This vibrant motet by Orlando di Lasso is ideal for a large-scale celebration or a significant liturgical occasion, such as a festival of Christ the King or Trinity Sunday. Set for a five-part choir (SSATB) in Latin, Cantate Domino draws its text from Psalm 98. The music amplifies the exultant message of the psalm, urging all the earth to sing a new song to God, for His marvellous deeds and His salvation. The composer's masterful handling of the text creates a powerful sonic expression of joy and divine justice, culminating in a resounding call for all creation to rejoice at the coming of the Lord to judge the earth.
