Dixit Dominus

Rupert Ignaz Mayr's setting of Psalm 109, Dixit Dominus, is a powerful work for SATB choir, drawing on the resonant Latin text of David's Psalm. The words speak of God's promise to his Anointed, a sovereign king seated at the right hand of God, and their ultimate triumph over enemies. This sacred piece, suited for evening canticles, unfolds the majestic imagery of divine power and everlasting priesthood. Mayr's composition will undoubtedly bring a profound sense of gravitas and spiritual authority to a concert or liturgical setting. The Latin text, traditional for services, lends itself to a grand and moving musical interpretation.
