Confitemini Domino
The Latin text “Confitemini Domino” – “Give thanks to the Lord” — appears in several Psalms and has been set to music across centuries – from early composers like Giovanni Gabrieli, Heinrich Schütz, and Jean-Baptiste Lully to modern masters like Knut Nystedt. This setting for SATB chorus (with brief soprano/bass divisi) is an all-purpose anthem written in a modern but easy-to-learn idiom. An accompaniment for piano 2-hands or 4-hands can be made available by contacting the composer ([email protected]).
