About Cantemus
Cantemus Domino, magnificatus est: the text drawn from Exodus rejoices in God's glory and power, his overthrow of horse and rider in the sea. The music sets these words of triumph and praise with majestic force, a testament to the composer's dramatic gifts. Rossini's setting for double choir (SATB.SATB) is a powerful and resplendent evocation of the biblical narrative, emphasizing the divine strength and deliverance recounted in the text. This motet captures a profound sense of awe and exultation, making it a stirring addition to any sacred choral repertoire.
