Cantate Domino (Il candore in fuga) by Gioachino Rossini — 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 (Il candore in fuga)
The exhilarating energy of Rossini's Cantate Domino, subtitled 'Il candore in fuga' (Candour in Fugue), immediately announces itself through its vibrant SSATB texture. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 98, calls for joyous praise and celebration of God's mighty acts and deliverance. Rossini vividly captures the jubilant spirit of the psalm, with the choir proclaiming 'Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things.' The music surges with exultation, urging all the earth to 'Make a joyful noise; sing, and rejoice, and play on the harp.' This motet is a thrilling exploration of praise, dynamically depicting the text's powerful message of divine justice and salvation.
