Cantate Domino canticum novum (II) by Philippe Rogier — 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 canticum novum (II)
Philippe Rogier's SSAATB motet Cantate Domino canticum novum (II) is a vibrant setting of Psalm 98, calling for joyful praise to God for His wondrous deeds. The text urges all the earth to sing a new song, celebrating His salvation and justice revealed to the nations. It speaks of God's remembrance of His mercy and truth to Israel, and the universal recognition of His saving power. The music is designed to reflect the text's exultant mood, with the full SSAATB choir encouraged to express the jubilant pronouncements and the imagery of the seas and rivers clapping their hands. This motet is a powerful example of sacred Renaissance polyphony.
