Dixit Dominus by Diego Ortiz — 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
This setting of Psalm 109 (110) Dixit Dominus, a traditional text for Vespers, is by Diego Ortiz. The psalm celebrates the power and eternal priesthood of the Lord, with verses describing God's dominion over enemies and the everlasting priestly office of the Messiah. Ortiz sets the Latin text for ATTB choir, a rich four-part texture. The music would suit a liturgical setting or a concert programme of sacred music. The composer was a Spanish musician of the 16th century, active in Naples.
