Description: A robust setting of the first four verses of psalm 96, divided in two parts (two verses each) but not excessively long. Gabrieli stresses the last clause with prominent imitation points on 'terribilis' ("he is to be feared").
Source: Andreae Gabrielis Sacrae Cantiones […], Liber Primus, published Antonio Gardano, Venice 1565. See the main CPDL page for this publication for more commentary and links to the other motets in the volume.
As suggested on the 1565 title page, instrumental support or substitution is optional but worth considering. The source is in high clefs, so downward transposition for performance was likely.
