Exsultate Deo -Palestrina- SAATB MIDI & MP3 Practice Tracks

Giovanni da Palestrina
Written in 1584, Exsultate Deo has always been a favorite motet by Giovanni da Palestrina. With its joyous tunefulness and vivid word-painting depicting musical instruments, it demonstrates his mastery of polyphony and is used as a model in the teaching of counterpoint. The text is from Psalm 80. This rendition is in the key of A. A PDF of the written music (from Choral Public Domain Library) is included in the download.
