Cantate Domino canticum novum by Richard Dering — Lyrics
Canticum ipsi David, quando domus aedificabatur post captivitatem.
Cantate Domino canticum novum; cantate Domino omnis terra.
Cantate Domino, et benedicite nomini ejus; annuntiate de die in diem salutare ejus.
Annuntiate inter gentes gloriam ejus; in omnibus populis mirabilia ejus.
Quoniam magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis: terribilis est super omnes deos.
Quoniam omnes dii gentium daemonia; Dominus autem caelos fecit.
Confessio et pulchritudo in conspectu ejus; sanctimonia et magnificentia in sanctificatione ejus.
Afferte Domino, patriae gentium, afferte Domino gloriam et honorem;

About Cantate Domino canticum novum
This setting of the Latin text Cantate Domino canticum novum is a sacred motet by Richard Dering, scored for SSATTB voices. The text draws inspiration from the Book of Psalms, celebrating God with new songs and proclaiming his glory to all nations. It speaks of God's greatness, his awe-inspiring power over all deities, and the beauty and magnificence of his creation and his holiness. The motet is suited for occasions of thanksgiving and praise, its rich six-part texture providing a powerful framework for the jubilant message. The composer's skill is evident in the way the music amplifies the scriptural call to announce God's salvation and wondrous deeds across the earth.
