Cantemus Domino

The words of this motet celebrate God's mighty power and deliverance, declaring "Cantemus Domino" – Let us sing to the Lord. The text describes how God has gloriously triumphed, casting horse and rider into the sea, and proclaims God as strength and praise, who has become salvation. It exalts God as the God of our father, whom we shall glorify and exalt. The composer Johann Georg Rauch sets this jubilant Latin text for SATB choir. This sacred motet offers a powerful and uplifting musical expression of divine might and gratitude.
