Dixit Dominus Domino meo by Gierolamo Lambardi — 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 Domino meo
Gierolamo Lambardi's Dixit Dominus Domino meo is a powerful setting of Psalm 109 (110) for eight-part choir (SATTTB). The Latin text, a traditional Vesper Psalm, speaks of divine authority and kingship, with the Lord promising strength and dominion. Lambardi crafts an impressive, almost monumental soundscape, utilizing the full forces of the choir to convey the grandeur and majesty of the text. The intricate interplay between the vocal lines creates a rich and resonant texture, building to moments of profound dramatic intensity. This work offers a substantial and rewarding challenge for a skilled choir, its solemnity and expansive sonic possibilities making it a compelling choice for liturgical or concert settings.
