Exsultate, jubilate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Exsultate, Jubilate K. 165, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was written in 1773.

This religious motet was composed at the time Mozart was visiting Milan.[1] It was written for the castrato Venanzio Rauzzini, Mozart's favourite for his operas. In modern times, it is usually sung by a soprano.

It is divided into three parts:

  1. Allegro
  2. Andante
  3. Allegro

The final allegro section is an outstanding and cheerful "Alleluia".
