Exultavit cor meum by Cesare Gussago — Lyrics
Exultavit cor meum in Domino exaltatum est cornu meum in Domino 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
Cesare Gussago's motet Exultavit cor meum sets a jubilant Latin text that expresses profound joy in the Lord. The music mirrors this exultation with its eight-part texture (SATB.SATB), allowing for rich, resonant harmonies and a grand sense of scale. The interplay between the two choirs creates a dialogue, building excitement and emphasizing the text's message of divine strength and deliverance. The piece opens with a sense of immediate elevation, reflecting the 'exaltation' of the heart and horn mentioned in the text. It is a powerful setting for double choir, conveying a deeply spiritual and triumphant message.
