*"Exsultate, Jubilate" was written in 1773.

This religious solo motet was composed at the time Mozart was visiting Milan. It was written for the castrato Venanzio Rauzzini, Mozart's favourite for his operas. In modern times, it is usually sung by a soprano.

There are two versions of this piece: one originally sung by Rauzzini, and one performed by castrato Francesco Ceccarelli for Salzburg in 1779. The second version replaces the oboes with flutes, and the the first two movements are given new words for Trinity Sunday and Christmas. In the present recording, it is the original version being performed.
