Cantate Domino
This piece was published in 1620, in a collection issued by Monteverdi's former pupil from Mantua days, Bianchi. The brightly festive 'Cantate Domino' may have been intended for one of the two feasts of the Holy Cross, though the text, being a compilation, could not strictly be proper to any church occasion.
LYRICS:
Cantate Domino canticum novum: cantate et benedicite nomini ejus.
Quia mirabilia fecit.
Cantate et exultate et psallite.
Psallite in cithara et voce psalmi:
Quia mirabilia fecit.
(from Psalms 96 and 98)
Sing unto the Lord a new song, sing and praise his Name: for he hath done marvellous things.
Sing, rejoice, and give thanks.
Praise him with the lute and the voice of singing: for he hath done marvellous things.
The Sacred Flame
The theme of this album is the marvellous wealth of sacred music which was created in continental Europe out of the ferment of the age of Reformation.
“…The Sacred Flame is a fascinating, impressive compendium of liturgical choral music…” The Independent
John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.

This is just glorious, listen to so many records of this piece, But this arrangement got more "church reverb" above all which is more realistic. Thanks so much, Sir
