Exaltabo te Domine

Scarlatti’s Exaltabo te Domine is a powerful sacred motet setting a Latin text drawn from the Psalms. Its expressive melody and rich SATB harmonies are ideal for liturgical use, perhaps as an offertory hymn during Mass or for other special services. The words speak of praise and thanksgiving to God, acknowledging His deliverance from enemies and His healing power. The music rises to meet the profound spiritual sentiment of the text, offering a moment of reflective devotion. It is a setting that would serve well to elevate the liturgy and inspire the congregation.
