Dixit Dominus by Konstantin Steingaden — 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
Steingaden's Dixit Dominus unfolds with a powerful and majestic character, immediately setting a grand and devotional tone. The SATB voices are treated with skill, moving in rich harmonies and engaging in dynamic interplay that reflects the solemnity of the Latin Vespers text. This setting of Psalm 109 (110) vividly portrays the Lord's dominion and authority, with moments of surging energy and profound reflection. The music expertly captures the martial imagery of vanquishing enemies and the eternal priesthood, offering a significant and rewarding challenge for a discerning choir. It stands as a compelling sacred work suitable for liturgical use or concert programming.
