Laudate Dominum in Sanctis is a sacred choral work composed by Samuel Scheidt, a German composer and organist of the early Baroque era. The piece was composed in the early 17th century and was first performed in 1620. It is a part of Scheidt's collection of sacred music, Cantiones Sacrae. The piece is divided into six movements, each with its own distinct character and musical style. The first movement is a joyful and celebratory opening, with the choir singing "Laudate Dominum in Sanctis eius" (Praise the Lord in His holy places) in a lively and rhythmic manner. The second movement is a more contemplative and introspective section, with the choir singing "Confitemini Domino" (Give thanks to the Lord) in a slower and more subdued style. The third movement is a lively and energetic section, with the choir singing "Exultate iusti in Domino" (Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous) in a fast and rhythmic manner. The fourth movement is a more solemn and reflective section, with the choir singing "Domine, exaudi orationem meam" (Lord, hear my prayer) in a slower and more contemplative style. The fifth movement is a joyful and celebratory section, with the choir singing "Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto" (Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit) in a lively and rhythmic manner. The final movement is a triumphant and exultant section, with the choir singing "Sicut erat in principio" (As it was in the beginning) in a fast and energetic style. Overall, Laudate Dominum in Sanctis is a beautiful and uplifting piece of sacred music, showcasing Scheidt's skill as a composer and his ability to create music that is both joyful and contemplative. Its six movements offer a range of musical styles and moods, making it a versatile and engaging piece for both performers and listeners.
