Dixit Dominus by Giovanni Matteo Asola — Lyrics
Psalmus David. Dixit Dominus Domino meo: sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos
scabellum pedum tuorum.
Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio
inimicorum tuorum.
Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae in splendoribus sanctorum:
ex utero, ante luciferum, genui te.

About Dixit Dominus
Giovanni Matteo Asola composed this setting of Dixit Dominus, a powerful psalm text traditionally sung at Vespers. The Latin words describe God's might and the establishment of His eternal kingdom, proclaiming the Lord's strength and his dominion over enemies. Asola's music is crafted for double choir (SATB.SATB), allowing for grand, resonant sound and antiphonal effects. This sacred motet is ideal for a choir seeking a substantial and sonically impressive work from the Renaissance tradition to add to their repertoire. The interplay between the two choirs enhances the dramatic unfolding of the psalm's message.
