Exultate Deo 2023

Mariano Garau's Exultate Deo is a vibrant and uplifting anthem for SSA voices. The music immediately sets a jubilant mood, reflecting the joyful spirit of the Latin text, which opens with the command to 'Exsultate Deo' – 'Rejoice in God.' The composer crafts an engaging texture, with the three female voices weaving together in intricate yet accessible lines. The setting is predominantly homophonic, emphasizing the text's message of praise and thanksgiving with clarity and power. This piece offers a wonderful opportunity for young choirs to explore a rich sacred repertoire, delivering a message of gladness that resonates with both performers and listeners.
