Dixit Dominus by Chiara Margarita Cozzolani — 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
Chiara Margarita Cozzolani's Dixit Dominus for SSAATTBB voices is a vibrant setting of Psalm 110, one of the most significant texts in the Vespers service. The psalm, which proclaims God's exaltation of the Messiah, is treated with grandeur and drama by Cozzolani. Her music moves with a rich, contrapuntal texture, at times homophonic and declamatory, at others imitative and flowing, mirroring the text's powerful pronouncements. The doubled voices allow for a magnificent sonic palette, creating moments of intense power and delicate beauty, particularly in the psalm's affirmations of eternal priesthood and divine victory. It is a substantial and rewarding work for a skilled choir, offering a profound musical interpretation of this pivotal scripture.
