Chapter breakdown
Laudate Dominum in sanctis introduces praise with all instruments and Alleluia. Praise is called in holy places and in the firmament of power, for mighty acts and the multitude of greatness. An earthly temple and invisible heaven are not added as resolved settings.
Trumpet sound, psaltery and harp, timbrel and choir, strings and organs, high-sounding cymbals and cymbals of joy are named in order. Choir remains choir; no dance, acoustic technology or invented instrument-family count replaces the list.
Every spirit is called to praise the Lord, with Alleluia. The closing call retains spirit rather than substituting breath and does not report an actual final congregation or establish a universal artistic-consecration doctrine.
