Cantate Domino canticum novum a3 by Orlando di Lasso — 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 a3
Orlando di Lasso's Cantate Domino canticum novum is a sacred motet for three voices (STB). The Latin text is drawn from Psalm 96, a psalm that calls for the singing of a new song to God, announcing his salvation and glorifying him among all nations. The composer sets the jubilant text with an appropriate sense of grandeur and praise. The piece moves with lively energy, highlighting the psalmist's call to acknowledge God's greatness and his role as creator. Its direct and celebratory character makes it a suitable choice for services or concerts where a strong expression of faith is desired.
