Cantate Domino, Op. 22

Vincent d'Indy's Motet, Op. 22, is a sacred work for STB voices setting a Latin text. The composer was a leading figure in French musical life around the turn of the 20th century, known for his own distinct style and for championing the music of his teacher, César Franck. The text is taken from Psalm 96:1-4, a jubilant call to sing praises to God, proclaiming his greatness and glory to all nations. The music reflects the exultant nature of the words, with rich harmonies and a powerful sense of forward motion fitting for a motet of this tradition.
