TO PURCHASE
This famed jubilant aria, extracted from Mozart’s Exsultate Jubilate, is a popular Christmas favorite, performed at numerous holiday concerts every year.
Although the work is exciting to listen to, it is not of extremely high difficulty for the instrumentalist soloist because of the comfortable key and range, and the simple diatonic patterns upon which the long melismatic runs are based. This is an excellent contest piece for young players, and a good addition to the recital or church performance repertoire for anyone, be they amateur or professional.
