Laudate Dominum

Was putting Ethan to sleep with some Mozart and came to one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, Laudate Dominum (Latin for Praise the Lord). Was pleasantly surprised to find more than one version of it on YouTube and a perfect translation into English on another website. What a wonderful night of worship through music.

I'm putting up the video which features Rachel Harnisch backed by the Berlin Philharmonic, and conducted by von Karajan. Divine.


The translation can be found at Emmanuel Music and sheet music for it at Williams Students Online

Praise the Lord, all nations;
Praise Him, all people.
For His has bestowed
His mercy upon us,
And the truth of the Lord endures forever.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and forever,
and for generations of generations. Amen
