General Information
Title: Cantate Domino Canticum Novum a 5
Composer: Andrea Gabrieli
Lyricist:
Number of voices: 5vv Voicing: SATTB
Genre: Sacred, Motet, Psalm
Language: Latin
Instruments: A cappella
{{Published}} is obsolete (code commented out), replaced with {{Pub}} for works and {{PubDatePlace}} for publications.
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.
