Exaltabo te, Deus rex meus by Philipp Dulichius — Lyrics
Laudatio ipsi David. Exaltabo te, Deus meus rex, et benedicam nomini tuo in saeculum,
et in saeculum saeculi.
Per singulos dies benedicam tibi, et laudabo nomen tuum in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
Magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis, et magnitudinis ejus non est finis.
Generatio et generatio laudabit opera tua, et potentiam tuam pronuntiabunt.
Magnificentiam gloriae sanctitatis tuae loquentur, et mirabilia tua narrabunt.
Et virtutem terribilium tuorum dicent, et magnitudinem tuam narrabunt.
Memoriam abundantiae suavitatis tuae eructabunt, et justitia tua exsultabunt.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: patiens, et multum misericors.
Suavis Dominus universis, et miserationes ejus super omnia opera ejus.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnia opera tua, et sancti tui benedicant tibi.
Gloriam regni tui dicent, et potentiam tuam loquentur:

About Exaltabo te, Deus rex meus
Philipp Dulichius's motet Exaltabo te, Deus rex meus for SSAATTBB voices opens with a jubilant exultation, reflecting the text's praise for God's majesty. The intricate polyphony unfolds with a sense of grandeur, as the eight parts weave together to express the profound awe and adoration central to the Latin psalmody. This sacred work, characteristic of the motet tradition, offers a rich sonic palette, ideal for exploring complex textures and dynamic contrast. The composer skillfully builds the musical argument, moving from sections of unified declaration to moments of imitative dialogue between the voice pairs, all in service of glorifying the divine name. It is a profound expression of faith, rendered through skilled choral writing.
