Dixit Dominus by Amadio Freddi — 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
Amadio Freddi's Dixit Dominus sets the opening verses of Psalm 110, a text traditionally sung at Vespers. The music unfolds with a majestic, imitative texture, beginning with the lower voices before blossoming into full SSATB harmony. Freddi explores the dramatic arc of the text, from the assertion of divine power and kingship to the ultimate triumph over enemies. The polyphony is rich and intricate, demonstrating a masterful control of vocal lines. Each voice part is integral, contributing to a powerful and sonorous whole that vividly portrays the psalm's message of the Lord's might and everlasting priesthood.
