Holliston by Anonymous — Lyrics
Alleluja. Laudate Dominum de caelis; laudate eum in excelsis.
Laudate eum, omnes angeli ejus; laudate eum, omnes virtutes ejus.
Laudate eum, sol et luna; laudate eum, omnes stellae et lumen.
Laudate eum, caeli caelorum; et aquae omnes quae super caelos sunt,
laudent nomen Domini. Quia ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit,
et creata sunt.
Statuit ea in aeternum, et in saeculum saeculi; praeceptum posuit, et non praeteribit.
Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;
ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum, quae faciunt verbum ejus;

About Holliston
This setting of the sacred text "Laudate Dominum" is from an anonymous composer, drawing from a rich tradition of liturgical music. The piece moves between Latin and English, reflecting a common practice in sacred music where both languages might be used for liturgical texts. The SATB and TrATB voicings suggest a rich harmonic texture suitable for a choir. The text itself is a powerful and expansive "Praise the Lord," calling upon all of creation – angels, stars, the elements, and all living creatures – to laud the divine name. Its broad scope and jubilant message make it a suitable choice for celebratory services.
