Dixit Dominus in D (1742) by Francesco Durante — 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 in D (1742)
Francesco Durante’s setting of Psalm 109, Dixit Dominus, is a substantial work for double choir (SATB.SATB) and likely originated for use within Vespers services. This Latin text, a Messianic psalm, speaks of God’s power and the establishment of an eternal priesthood. Durante, a significant figure in the Neapolitan school of Baroque music, crafts a powerful musical setting that reflects the grandeur of the text. The double choir allows for rich textural contrasts and antiphonal effects, ideal for a festive liturgical occasion. This impressive work would offer a choir the opportunity to explore dynamic and dramatic choral writing, suitable for a significant sacred concert or service.
