Cantate Psalm 98 (97 in the Vulgate) used as a canticle (e.g. as an alternative to the Magnificat at Evening Prayer in the Church of England); cantate is Latin for ‘sing ye’, and is the first word of the psalm.
Cantate Sunday the fourth Sunday after Easter, so called because the introit for that day is taken from the Cantate.
