Motet Translations
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina: "Exsultate Deo"

Psalm 81:1-4

Exsultate Deo adjutori nostro;
jubilate Deo Jacob.
Sumite psalmum, et date tympanum; psalterium jucundum cum cithara.
Buccinate in neomenia tuba,
in insigni die solemnitatis vestræ.

Sing joyfully to God our strength;
sing loud unto the God of Jacob!
Take the song, bring forth the timbrel,
the pleasant harp, and the viol.
Blow the trumpet in the new moon,
at the time appointed for our feast day.

La musica che si canta in paradiso deve assomigliare a questa...sono sicuro !!!

@spqrincorde9931

Infatti la sua musica viene chiamata letteralmente "musica paradisiaca"

HAPPY memories of my best loved Palestrina motet, learned from a fabulous choir master and musician.
I've been singing this for over 50 years, but no longer sing in choir now due to ill health. I miss it dreadfully and hearing/ seeing this today, nearly had me in tears. But I lived and loved it just the same.

Palestrina at his best. I love the super lively tempo and sheer joy of this piece. This choir gives full glory to the composer's work and makes a splendid renaissance motet come to life in these latter times.

This is my go-to piece whenever I need to lift my spirits; it always works. "Siccut Cervus" simply transports me into a sublime musical reality.

@joellis2534

Isn't he saying the two pieces have different effects upon him?

Why is this easier to sing than most of the music in modern churches? It is more beautiful and simply easier to sing. You have to love Palestrina.

because he was a truly excellent composer, and one accustomed to working with singers, so he writes really vocally-friendly lines! It's awesome. :)

🧕👄Palestrina was a Renaissance composer. All his production was for vocal choirs, however, according to the customs of the time, the voices could be duplicated by instruments.🌞🌜🌟👼🌻🦋🌺🌿🎶🎹🎻😀😀👋👋

I know that "Missa Papae Marcelli" (Pope Macellus Mass) is considered the masterwork of Palestrina. Besides, many motets are well-known: "Sicut cervus", "Dies sanctificatus", "Veni Sponsa Christi", "Tu es Petrus", "O Magnum Mysterium", "O bone Iesu", "Nunc dimittis", etc. Of course, this space is too short for including many more Palestrina's works.

Both are possible; since the x in ex is a product of k-s-assimilation, the s may be assimilated into the x, rendering Exultet, as it can often be found in later stages of Latin.

It can be sing as Alleluia in seventeenth sunday of Ordinary, provided you sing Alleluia First and Last

This one is very fun to sing! However, in the alto part at 1:59 there should be no accidental on the D.

@iwanabana

Why not d#? In this recording they made sure they sang it natural which sounds a bit unnatural, pardon the pun.

@tonymasciotra7198

I enjoy listening to this choir, I too wish to sing along but the words print appears out of focus.

+A. Genesis G. If you find out, let me know! I can't stop listening to this and 'Sicut Cervus' amongst other pieces of Palestrina's. I'll probably buy one or two of the CDs that are still available. The polyphony is quite simply brilliant.

+Master Kuukai +qantasCapt Try a youtube mp3 converter. http://www.youtube-mp3.org/ is a good one. It's free and all you have to do is put in the video link. I hope this helps.

Thanks Blaze, I'll give it a shot. Many thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated.

@MattWeisherComposer

The title should be "Exultate Deo." There is no "s," at least not in the version that Palestrina used.

@sameash3153

Palestrina was wrong.

@milanstevic8424

lol

@isaiahthorne7707

there is no "s" at least right now

@inesdeerausquin5658

Unless you have the original score, I'm not sure how you can say that. Both are perfectly correct Latin; I've seen it both ways in texts old and new. The etymology, as someone said below, is from "ex"/"saltare", to jump or dance forth -- so spelling it with the S makes sense.

@mck7067

What's this song for??

@GiovanniWerneck

Celebration Masses, Post Holy Communion Service, Dismissal and Baptism Invitation.
That's what's most used in our lutheran parish.

@inesdeerausquin5658

Just about anything happy, really; the text is "Rejoice in God our strength, rejoice in the God of Jacob", so it works for any celebratory occasion. I sang it last for the feast day of the city where I live, and am about to do it for the patronal feast of a parish where I sing occasionally. :)

@AlainNaigeon

Not the original key signature, what a strange choice.

@jaroslavhojny6178

What´s the original key signature? We (in our choir) have the same notes as the performers... of course modern edition, sure... from cpdl.org

@jaroslavhojny6178

P.S. The Cambridge Singers here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd2_r4PK5dc sing this of a half tone higher... is this the original setting??

@AlainNaigeon

@@jaroslavhojny6178 Well, it's not that I have an encyclopedic knowledge of this period of time, however a key signature of 3 diesis was a sort of an "alarm signal", which lead me to check IMSLP where I found a F major score which is a much more probable.

@AlainNaigeon

@@jaroslavhojny6178 To answer we would have to find the facsimile, but after a few minutes (only) it doesn't seem quite easy to get it.

@jaroslavhojny6178

@@AlainNaigeon Never mind, you´re right with the strange key signature - unlikely for the renaissance polyphony, I agree that F major is much more probable. Thank you!

@RJAGuerrero

11y

Is it "Exsultate" or "Exultate"?

@pannonia77

RJAGuerrero Etymologically this word is a compound of "ex" and "salio/salto" this latter meaning "jump, dance", the compound meaning "rejoice". So practically both are correct. My Latin dictionary lists this word as "exsulto". However, the pronunciation is the same.
