Exultate Deo by Ruggiero Giovannelli — Lyrics
In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus ipsi Asaph.
Exsultate Deo adjutori nostro ; jubilate Deo Jacob.
Sumite psalmum, et date tympanum ; psalterium jucundum cum cithara.
Buccinate in neomenia tuba, in insigni die solemnitatis vestræ :
quia præceptum in Israël est, et judicium Deo Jacob.
Testimonium in Joseph posuit illud, cum exiret de terra Ægypti ;
linguam quam non noverat, audivit.
Divertit ab oneribus dorsum ejus ; manus ejus in cophino servierunt.
In tribulatione invocasti me, et liberavi te.
Exaudivi te in abscondito tempestatis ;
probavi te apud aquam contradictionis.

About Exultate Deo
Ruggiero Giovannelli's motet Exultate Deo is a jubilant setting of Psalm 80 (81) verses 1-5 and 10-11. This Latin text, a prayer for God's help and guidance, is powerfully expressed by the composer. The double SATB choir allows for rich, antiphonal effects and a full, resonant sound. Giovannelli masterfully builds excitement through driving rhythms and harmonic intensity, making this a thrilling piece for both performers and listeners. It is a vibrant example of sacred polyphony, designed to inspire and uplift with its fervent plea and confident praise.
