LYRICS:
Laudate Dominum omnes gentes:
Laudate eum omnes populi:
Quoniam confirmata est super nos misericordia ejus:
Et veritas Domini manet in aeternum.
Gloria Patri et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
Psalm 117 with doxology
(Praise the Lord, all ye people: praise him, all ye nations: for his merciful kindness is ever more
and more towards us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Glory be to the Father, and
to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end. Amen.)
'Laudate Dominum' was sung at the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. This ravishing aria is the sixth of the seven movements comprising Mozart's 'Vesperae solemnes de confessore' of 1780, one of the last of his Salzburg church compositions written before the move to freelance life in Vienna the following year, ended his contractual obligation to write sacred music.
This is the day
The music on this album recollects, and celebrates, some of the choral music heard on royal occasions in England during the lifetime of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
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.
