Exsultate Deo
Among Palestrina’s 375 or so motets, Exsultate Deo has always been a favourite. With its joyous tunefulness and vivid word-painting depicting musical instruments, it refutes the inaccurate myth of Palestrina as a cold, bloodless master of abstract polyphony, a myth due in part to the reverence surrounding him even in his lifetime and to the use of his music ever since as a model in the teaching of counterpoint, an unfortunate fate indeed for a composer whose music, at its best, leaps off the page and demands the excitement of performance.
LYRICS:
Exsultate Deo, adjutori nostro: jubilate Deo Jacob.
Sumite psalmum et date tympanum: psalterium jucundum cum cithara.
Buccinate in Neomenia tuba: insigni die solemnitatis vestrae.
(Psalm 81, vv. 1-3)
Sing we merrily unto God our strength: make a cheerful noise unto the God of Jacob.
Take the psalm, bring hither the tabret: the merry harp with the lute.
Blow up the trumpet in the new-moon: even in the time appointed, and upon our solemn feast-day.
The Sacred Flame
The theme of this album is the marvellous wealth of sacred music which was created in continental Europe out of the ferment of the age of Reformation.
“…The Sacred Flame is a fascinating, impressive compendium of liturgical choral music…” The Independent
John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
