Exultate justi by Melchior Vulpius — Lyrics

Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem

About Exultate justi
Melchior Vulpius's Exultate justi is a sacred motet for SATB choir, sung in Latin. The text, drawn from Psalm 32, is a joyous call to praise God. It urges the righteous to exult in the Lord, to sing to him with new songs, playing skilfully on the strings and psaltery. The composer reflects the jubilant spirit of the words, with music that encourages a full-throated, confident delivery. The motet's energetic character and clear declaration of faith make it a stirring choice for liturgical or concert performance.
