Cantate Domino in A by George Coombes — 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 in A
The opening words, "Sing to the Lord a new song," set a tone of joyful praise and thanksgiving for God's mighty deeds. This setting of the Cantate Domino text for SATB choir is a vibrant liturgical work. George Coombes crafts a piece that calls for the full vocal forces to express the psalm's exuberant message of God's saving power and justice. The Latin text, drawing from Psalm 98, is rendered with a spirit of exultation, imagining the response of all creation, from the seas to the mountains, to the arrival of the divine judge. This sacred work, suitable for evening services, offers a powerful musical setting of ancient, profound words.
