Exultate, jubilate, K.165/158a by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — Lyrics
About Exultate, jubilate, K.165/158a
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Exultate, jubilate sets a Latin text of praise. The opening movement is a vibrant call to rejoice, summoning blessed souls to sing sweet songs. This is followed by a recitative that describes the dawning of a new day, with clouds and storms fleeing, and unexpected peace arriving for the righteous. The tender slow movement is a prayer to the crown of virgins, asking for peace and consolation. The work concludes with a triumphant Alleluja, a powerful and joyful affirmation. Composed for solo soprano, this sacred aria showcases vocal brilliance and expressive depth.
