Venite Exultemus

This handwritten sheet brings together two distinct moments of worship: a quiet call to prayer and a joyful Gospel greeting. The first piece, "Venite Exultemus," is a classic Taizé chant. Its Latin words offer a simple invitation: "Come, let us rejoice in the Lord, come let us adore." Because it is short and repeats gently, it works wonderfully to settle the congregation. Choirs often use it as an introit or during moments of Eucharistic adoration, allowing the four-part harmony to build naturally as people enter into a space of reverence.

The second half of the page shifts gears with a bright "Alleluia" by Marco Frisina. Where the opening chant is grounded and meditative, this acclamation lifts the energy of the church right before the Gospel reading. For a choir director, having both on one sheet offers a highly practical pairing for a Sunday morning—moving the parish from quiet, unified adoration into full-voiced, joyful praise.
