ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
PROGRAM:
1. Mozart | Exsultate, jubilate K.165
2. Mahler | Symphony No. 9 in D major
Exsultate, jubilate (Exult, rejoice), K. 165, is a 1773 motet by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
History
This religious solo motet was composed when Mozart was staying in Milan during the production of his opera Lucio Silla which was being performed there in the Teatro Regio Ducale. It was written for the castrato Venanzio Rauzzini, who had sung the part of the primo uomo Cecilio in Lucio Silla the previous year. While waiting for the end of the run (from 26 December 1772 to 25 January 1773), Mozart composed the motet for his singer, whose technical excellence he admired. Its first performance took place at the Theatine Church on 17 January 1773, while Rauzzini was still singing in Mozart’s opera at night. Mozart made some revisions around 1780. On 30 May 1779, a Trinity Sunday, a revised version was performed by Francesco Ceccarelli at the Holy Trinity Church, Salzburg. Another revised version was intended for Christmas. The manuscripts of the two Salzburg versions were discovered in 1978 in St. Jakob, Wasserburg am Inn. In modern times, the motet is usually sung by a female soprano.
Structure
It has four sections:
Exsultate jubilate – Allegro (F major)
Fulget amica dies – Secco Recitative
Tu virginum corona – Andante (A major)
Alleluja – Molto allegro (F major)
Although nominally for liturgical use, the motet has many features in common with Mozart’s concert arias, such as those drawn from his operas. Mozart also used elements of concerto form in this motet.
