Cantate Domino
Composed by Josu Elberdin

Cantate Domino features a text alternating between English, Basque, and Latin.
Elberdin employs dynamic contrasts between the English and Basque passages to heighten the emotional impact of the piece.
This exhilarating setting celebrates the joy of singing to God and heralds the excitement of new beginnings.

Sing to the Lord a new song,
Sing to the Lord all the Earth,
Joyfully fulfill his will.

(Basque)
Kanta Jaunari kantu berria,
Kanta Jaunari lur guztia,
Egin alaitsu haren nahia.
Let us come before him with thanks.
Let us shout songs of joy to him.
Sing and praise with the harp,
Sing praise with a psalm.
For he has done wonders.

(Latin)
Benedicite nomine eius.
Annuntiate diem de die salutare eius
Cantate, exultate et psalite in cithara
Psallite voce psalmi
Quia mira bilia fecit
May eternal light shine upon the, O Lord
With your Saints forever,
For you are kind
Grant them eternal rest, O Lord
And may light shine upon them.
