Domine Dominus Noster Motetto a V voci Andrea Gabrieli (c. 1533 - 1585)
Prima Pars O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth! For thy magnificence is elevated above the heavens. Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou might destroy the enemy and the avenger. For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded. What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?
Secunda Pars Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: And hast set him over the works of thy hands. Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: indeed the beasts also of the fields. The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea. O Lord our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!
Psalm 8
Andreae Gabrielis Sacrae Cantiones [...], Liber Primus , published Antonio Gardano, Venice 1565; acknowledgements to the Bavarian State Library, whose website (http://bildsuche.digitale-sammlungen.de) contains a scan of the whole publication.
Barlines are editorial (one bar per tempus , ie. breve); ficta, ligature brackets, cautionary and courtesy accidentals are above the stave where applicable. Original note-values have been preserved as far as possible. Original mensuration marks are presented rather than imposing modern time signatures. Editorial underlay is in italics where applicable; Latin spelling has been modernised in places to aid legibility, and punctuation has been added.
This is Gabrieli's first published collection of his compositions and shows his early style. 1565 is an interesting date as Gabrieli's star was just rising in Venice - he had travelled to Munich in 1562, befriending Lassus, and then he became organist at S Marco in 1566. Quite possibly this collection, deidcated to Prince Albert, Duke of Bavaria and probably at least partially composed while in Munich, helped Gabrieli to gain the post.
As suggested on the 1565 title page, instrumental support or substitution is optional but worth considering.
