About Exultate justi in Domino
This jubilant motet by Giovanni Gabrieli overflows with praise. The text, drawn from Psalm 32, urges the righteous to exult in the Lord, to sing new songs with skill and a loud voice. It celebrates the power of God's word and his boundless mercy, which fills the earth. Gabrieli's setting, for double choir (SSAT and ATTB), magnificently amplifies this message of divine power and unending grace, creating a powerful sonic experience fit for a grand occasion. The Latin text speaks of God's creation and his sovereignty over all nations, calling for awe and reverence.
