Exsultemus
Saturday, November 12, 8pm
Hailed for its “stunningly unified ensemble sound” (The Carlisle Mosquito) and “thrilling…beautiful” performances (Goldberg), Exsultemus [ek-sul-TAY-mus] joins Boston’s leading young singers to rejoice in performing early music’s best-known favorites and rediscovered gems spanning the Medieval, Renaissance, and early Baroque periods. Taking its name from the Latin for “let us rejoice,” Exsultemus is modeled after small estate and chapel choirs and performs without conductor, requiring a close relationship between the singers and resulting in vibrant and engaging performances. Exsultemus is committed to historically-informed performance, employing just intonation and period pronunciation based on scholarship by experts in the field; they have twice had the privilege of working with Peter Phillips, director of the famed Renaissance choir The Tallis Scholars.
