General Information

Title: Cantate Domino Canticum Novum a 5
Composer: Andrea Gabrieli
Lyricist:

Number of voices: 5vv   Voicing: SATTB
Genre: SacredMotet

Language: Latin
Instruments: A cappella
First published: 1565 in Sacrae cantiones quinque vocum, liber primus, no. 6
Description: A robust, fairly paratactic setting of the first four verses of psalm 96, divided in two parts (two verses each) but not excessively long. Gabrieli stresses the last clause with prominent imitation points on 'terribilis' ("he is to be feared"). As suggested on the 1565 title page, instrumental support or substitution is optional but worth considering.
