Exsultate, Jubilate (MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS)

Solomotette Zum Dreifaltigkeitsfest Oder Zu Weihnachten. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. A good six years following its first performance in Milan [1773] a second version of Exsultate, jubilate was completed for a performance on Trinity Sunday in 1779. It has survived in a manuscript from Salzburg. This “Salzburg version, ” which was discovered in 1978, differs from the “Milan version” primarily through the use of flutes instead of oboes and also through the use of two different texts for the first aria. In the first version the text refers to Christmas, whereas in the second version it refers to the festival of Trinity. Mozart’s autograph of the Milan version had been thought to be missing since the second world war and it has only been accessible in the BibliotekaJagiellónska in Kraków for a little over a decade. The present new critical edition by Wolfgang Hochstein is the first which could be based on both versions. / Hymnes et chorals / Répertoire / Solo S, 2 Hautbois ou 2 Flûtes Traversières, 2 Cor
