Exaltabo te, Domine

This powerful motet for double choir (SATB.SATB) is a setting of Latin sacred text. Its title, Exaltabo te, Domine, translates to 'I will exalt you, Lord,' setting a tone of praise and thanksgiving. The opening lines speak of God lifting the singer up, protecting them from enemies, and healing them. Such themes of divine protection and deliverance make this a fitting choice for occasions of thanksgiving or times of solemn reflection within the church's year. Hakenberger's composition, with its two choirs, allows for rich contrapuntal textures and dramatic antiphonal effects, creating a grand and immersive musical experience for both performers and listeners.
