Exaltabo te a 4

Orlando di Lasso sets a powerful Latin text of praise and deliverance in this motet for SATB choir. The words express profound gratitude to God for protection and healing, recounting how the Lord has lifted the singer up and kept enemies at bay. The music is likely to reflect this sense of triumph and relief, with Lasso's characteristic expressive harmony and contrapuntal skill. This sacred work would serve as a stirring offertory hymn or motet, drawing the listener into a personal declaration of faith and thanksgiving. Its rich SATB texture offers substantial choral writing, suitable for choirs looking to explore the masterworks of the sacred Renaissance repertoire.
