Laudate Dominum
LEVENTE GYÖNGYÖSI (B. 1975)
2016
ABOUT THE COMPOSITION
LAUDATE DOMINUM
was composed by Romanian-born
Hungarian composer Levente Gyöngyösi
in 2016 for treble chorus, and later
adapted for mixed choir. Gyöngyösi sets
the text from Psalm 148 in a rhythmic
and exuberant style. The exciting work
serves as an ideal opening for a choral
concert, capturing the interest of the
audience with its sudden dynamic shifts,
crisp articulation, crunchy harmonies,
and almost frantic pace.
Text from Psalm 148
LATIN TEXT
Laudate dominum de caelis,
Laudate eum in excelsis.
Laudate omnes angeli eius,
Laudate omnes virtutes eius.
Laudate eum, sol et luna,
Laudate omnes stelae lucentes.
Alleluia, amen!
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Praise the Lord from the heavens,
Praise him on the heights.
Praise all his angels,
Praise all his hosts.
Praise him, sun and moon,
Praise him, all shining stars
Alleluia, amen!
