Story Behind the Song
“Cantate Domino” is a contemporary choral setting of the Latin psalm text beginning “Sing to the Lord a new song.” It is by Josu Elberdin, a Basque/Spanish composer known for modern sacred and concert choral works. The piece is an anthem rather than a congregational hymn with a standard tune name.
