Cantiam tutti by André Vierendeels — Lyrics
Cantiam tutti, cantiamo
gran lodi al Creator,
e grazie a lui rendiamo
Dei sovr'uman favor,
poi che per sua potenza
e per sua providenza,
ci diede ogni tesor.
Tutta la terra e'l Cielo,
e cio ch'in essi sta,
con amoroso zelo,
creo sua Maesta,
e con peso e misura,
la creata natura
dispon la sua bontà.

About Cantiam tutti
This is a joyful, energetic SAT motet in Italian that gives thanks to the Creator. The music opens with an exuberant call to sing praises, and the texture throughout is lively and engaging, with the three voices weaving together in a celebratory manner. The text speaks of God's boundless power and providence, detailing how he created the heavens and the earth, adorned them with beauty, and ordered the seasons and stars. It emphasizes that all this was made for humanity's benefit, urging us to love God in return for his immense love. The music reflects this sense of wonder and gratitude with its bright character and fluent melodic lines.
