Cantate domino canticum novum by Francesco Stivori — 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 opening words of this Latin motet, Alleluja. Cantate Domino canticum novum, invite a joyful new song in praise of God. The text continues with expressions of gladness from Israel and the sons of Zion, celebrating their creator and king. The music is set for a large choir of treble, alto, tenor, and bass voices (SSSATTB), creating a rich and varied sound palette. Francesco Stivori's setting, likely composed for liturgical use, aims to reflect the exultant nature of the psalm verses, from the praise offered in the church of saints to the ultimate glory of God's faithful.
