Exultate Deo by Pierre Bonhomme — Lyrics
In finem, pro torcularibus. Psalmus ipsi Asaph.
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 :
quia præceptum in Israël est, et judicium Deo Jacob.
Testimonium in Joseph posuit illud, cum exiret de terra Ægypti ;
linguam quam non noverat, audivit.
Divertit ab oneribus dorsum ejus ; manus ejus in cophino servierunt.
In tribulatione invocasti me, et liberavi te.
Exaudivi te in abscondito tempestatis ;
probavi te apud aquam contradictionis.

About Exultate Deo
Pierre Bonhomme’s Exultate Deo is a vibrant setting of Psalm 81, a call to joyful praise for God’s deliverance. The Latin text urges the listener to sing praises, play instruments, and blow the trumpet to celebrate a solemn feast day, reminding them of God’s commands and his intervention in the exodus from Egypt. This SATTB motet is a powerful expression of faith and thanksgiving. It masterfully captures the jubilant spirit of the text, with rich harmonies and dynamic contrasts that would have been fitting for a sacred occasion. The music aims to convey the text’s message of rejoicing and remembrance, making it a fitting choice for a choir seeking a piece with both spiritual depth and exuberant musicality.
