Cantate Domino in C op. 31 by Dudley Buck — 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 C op. 31
Dudley Buck's Cantate Domino is a setting for SATB choir of Psalm 98. The text, provided in both Latin and English, opens with a call to sing a new song to the Lord, for he has done marvelous things. It celebrates his salvation and righteousness, noting that all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. The jubilant tone continues as the psalmist urges all the earth to sing, rejoice, and play instruments. The music reflects this exultant mood, urging the singers to praise God, as he comes to judge the earth. This piece is well-suited for services, particularly evening canticles, owing to its devotional and celebratory nature.
