Dixit Dominus (SANT Hs 1093-1) by Antonio Cifra — 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 (SANT Hs 1093-1)
This setting of Psalm 110, Dixit Dominus, presents a powerful depiction of God's ultimate authority. The text proclaims God's promise to His Anointed, establishing His dominion over all enemies. Cifra’s music matches the grandeur of the words, setting the sacred Latin text for two SATB choirs. The antiphonal possibilities of the double choir are exploited to create a rich and dynamic sound, ideal for liturgical use or concert performance. The composer captures the martial imagery and the triumphant tone of the psalm, culminating in a declaration of eternal priesthood.
