Dixit Dominus by Alessandro Grandi — 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
Alessandro Grandi's setting of Dixit Dominus is a sacred motet for SATB choir, sung in Latin. The text is a powerful setting of Psalm 109, a psalm traditionally associated with Christ the King. Grandi's music reflects the grandeur and martial imagery of the text, depicting God's triumph over his enemies and Christ's eternal priesthood. This is a masterful example of Baroque sacred music, offering a rich and dramatic setting for a significant liturgical text. The motet would serve as a substantial and impactful offering for a choir looking to explore the Italian Baroque repertoire.
