Exurge gloria mea

This joyful motet by Giovanni Francesco Anerio is suitable for Eastertide or other festivals celebrating Christ's resurrection. The Latin text, drawn from Psalm 16 and 108, expresses deep gratitude and exultation for divine protection and the promise of eternal life, proclaiming 'I shall rise and am still with you'. The glorious "Alleluia" refrains punctuate the rising tide of praise. Scored for SSATB choir, the work offers opportunities for rich, blended vocal colours and dynamic expression, making it an uplifting choice for sacred services. Its celebratory mood and confident affirmation of faith resonate powerfully, creating a profound musical statement of hope and spiritual triumph.
