Exultet et laetentur a 6 by Francesco Bianciardi — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David in rememorationem, quod salvum fecerit eum Dominus.
Deus, in adjutorium meum intende; Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina.
Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quaerunt animam meam.
Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala;
avertantur statim erubescentes qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge!

About Exultet et laetentur a 6
This powerful motet for six voices (SSATTB) by Francesco Bianciardi is set to a Latin text drawn from Psalm 70. Its opening verses, "Deus, in adjutorium meum intende," implore divine assistance, setting a tone of earnest supplication. The text then shifts, contrasting the confusion of those who seek the singer's downfall with the exultation of those who seek God. The composer captures this dramatic contrast through rich, imitative vocal writing. The piece culminates in a confident affirmation of God as helper and deliverer, making it suitable for services of thanksgiving or occasions requiring a strong affirmation of faith.
