Francis Poulenc: Exultate Deo: SATB: Vocal Score

Motet Pour Les Fêtes Solennelles-In 1936 Poulenc began creating the more sombre austere tones of religion after returning to his Catholic faith including Exultate Deo a motet for SATB a cappella.Poulenc’s setting of the Psalm 81 Exultate Deo ‘Sing aloud unto the Lord’ is both reverent and vivid and his harmonic tricks are used to dramatic ends.
