2 Dixit Dominus (197) for unaccompanied mixed chorus Duration: 9 minutes Andrew Rindfleisch Manzo Music Dixit Dominus Domino Meo: Sede a dextris meis, Donec ponam inimicos tuos, scabellum pedum tuorum. Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum. Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae in spendoriubus sanctorum, ex utero ante luciferum genui te. Juravit Dominus, et non poenitebit eum. Tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech. Dominus a dextris tuis, confregit in die irae suae reges. Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas, conquassabit capita in terra multorum. De torrente in via bibet propterea exaltabit caput. The Lord said unto my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning, thou hast the dew of thy youth The Lord has sworn, and will not repent. Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, He shall fill the places with dead bodies, He shall wound the heads over many countries, He shall drink of the brook in the way, Therefore he shall lift up the head. Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper, et in secula saeculorum. Amen. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now and forever shall be, world without end. Amen. Biblical, Psalm 109 (110)

23 Program Note Dixit Dominus (197) was composed in my final year of undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and despite the early date of composition, was not first performed until the summer of 2004, some seventeen years later. The work is a large-scale setting of the dramatic biblical Psalm 109. The work s size, length, and taxing vocal difficulty have made it a prohibitive vehicle for performance by many amateur choirs. No doubt, the prototype for the sound I imagined for this piece was the 65-voice Concert Choir at the University of Wisconsin (in which I was a singer at the time of the work s composition), conducted by the remarkable Robert Fountain. Dixit Dominus was premiered by the Isthmus Vocal Ensemble, conducted by Robert Fountain s longtime associate and colleague Scott MacPherson. (A. Rindfleisch)
