General Information

Title: Cantate Domino a 12
Composer: Hans Leo Hassler

Description: This setting of Cantate Domino, scored for three four-part instrumental and vocal choirs (or for voices alone), is one of Hassler's most ambitious works offered. While certainly stylistically indebted to Gabrieli, the lighter textures of the vocal ensembles recall Orlando di Lasso and later Praetorius.

Number of voices: 12vv 
Voicing: SSAT.SATB.ATBB
Genre: Sacred, Motet

Language: Latin

Instruments: A cappella, although parts in the high voice and low voice choirs may be doubled or substituted with cornetti &/or sackbuts

Original text and translations

Psalm 96 vv. 1-4
