Exsultate, jubilate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

This religious solo 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".
