Exultavit cor meum by Ottavio Vernizzi — Lyrics
Exultavit cor meum in Domino et exaltatum est cornu meum in Deo meo,
dilatatum est os meum super inimicos meos quia laetata sum in salutari tuo.
Non est sanctus ut est Dominus neque enim est alius extra te et non est fortis sicut Deus noster.

About Exultavit cor meum
Ottavio Vernizzi's motet Exultavit cor meum draws text from the Book of Samuel, reflecting the triumphant prayer of Hannah. The setting for double choir (SATTB) is rich and sonorous, ideal for a major feast day or a service of thanksgiving. The Latin text expresses profound joy in God's salvation and acknowledges His unique holiness and strength. Vernizzi crafts a vibrant and dynamic musical response, with the two choirs engaging in dialogue and in rich, unified statements. The outer voices of each choir often carry the melodic interest, supported by the inner voices creating a full and devotional texture. This motet offers a powerful devotional experience for a well-resourced choir.
