Cantate Domino canticum novum by Jean de Castro — Lyrics
Alleluja. Cantate Domino canticum novum;
laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.
Laetetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum,
et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.
Laudent nomen ejus in choro;
in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.
Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo,
et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.
Exsultabunt sancti in gloria;

About Cantate Domino canticum novum
The text, drawn from Psalm 149, is a jubilant call to praise God with new songs, instruments, and exultant hearts. It speaks of Israel rejoicing in its maker and the children of Zion exulting in their king. The motet unfolds with a rich SATTB voicing, presenting this powerful biblical message in Latin. Jean de Castro crafts a sacred setting that amplifies the text's joyous and triumphant spirit, exploring the contrast between divine exultation and the execution of judgment. This is music intended to lift the spirit and declare God's glory with conviction and vocal splendor.
