Exultabunt sancti by Francesco Foggia — Lyrics
Alleluja. Cantate Domino canticum novum;
laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.
Laetetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum,
et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.
Laudent nomen ejus in choro;
in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.
Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo,
et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.
Exsultabunt sancti in gloria;

The music is intended to depict the joy and exultation of the saints, as well as their active participation in divine praise. The composer's skill is evident in his masterful handling of the SATB voicing, creating rich textures and vibrant contrasts. This sacred work, suitable for liturgical or concert settings, calls for clear diction and expressive delivery, allowing the powerful message of praise and divine judgement to resonate fully with performers and listeners alike. The music builds to a triumphant conclusion, reflecting the text's final declaration of glory for all the saints.
