Exultet omnium a 7

This jubilant seven-part Latin motet, Exultet omnium, is ideal for a festive occasion, particularly one honouring Saint Benedict. Its text celebrates the joy of all the faithful, especially monks, in glorifying the blessed Father Benedict, whose fellowship they celebrate on earth and in heaven. Orazio Vecchi’s setting for two sopranos, four tenors, and a bass (or two sopranos, three tenors, two basses) is a rich and vibrant work, reflecting the grandeur of the occasion. The intricate vocal lines weave together to create a powerful expression of sacred devotion and communal celebration, making it a compelling choice for a choir seeking a substantial sacred work.
