About Dixit Dominus Domine meo
This setting of Psalm 109 (110) is for three solo voices (soprano, tenor, bass). The text is a traditional Latin setting of a powerful psalm, often sung at Vespers and other services. Jan Tollius's music vividly portrays the grandeur and martial imagery of the psalm, depicting God's affirmation of His Son as king and eternal priest. The intimate voicing allows for a close and expressive interpretation, highlighting the dramatic contrasts within the text, from divine pronouncements to the subjugation of enemies. It is a dramatic and devotional work suitable for services and concert performance.
