The text of Exsultate Justi in Domino compels the singer to sing with gladness and joy. Many choral compositions feature this text and it is often used in religious settings on feast days such as Easter and All Saints Day. The joyful conversation of the text is especially apparent in the middle section of this piece, as each phrase with one voice part, followed by the other voice part quickly echo and join together for the end of the phrase.With a chorus as catchy as this, students and teachers alike will likely find the melody playing over and over in their heads long after the concert!Latin vowels are pure, meaning there are no diphthongs:A=AW    E=EH     I=EE      O=OH (with AW color)  U=OOUPPER CASE syllables should receive more stress than those that are lower case.Exsultate                             justi          in       Domino,EHk-zool-TAW-teh    YOO-stee een DOH-mee-nohRejoice, you righteous ones, in the Lord, Alleluia!aw-leh-LOO-yawPraise the Lord! Rectos             decet                   collaudatio.REHK-tohs    DEH-cheht    KOH-lAWoo-DAW-tsee-ohIt is fitting for the upright ones to give praise. Confitemini                                     Domino,KOHN-fee-TEH-mee-nee    DOH-mee-nohAcknowledge the Lord,Cantate                       hodie,            canticum                   novum.kawn-TAW-teh    OH-dee-eh  KAWN-tee-koom NOH-voomSing a new song to him today. from Psalm 32:11; Psalm 33: 1-3.
