Here is Exultate (exultate.org)singing the final Alleluia from Bach’s motet “Singet dem Herrn.” It is excised from the complete recording we did of this amazing work. (The music is Bach’s insight into the party on the banks of the Red Sea after the Israelites escaped death from Pharoah’s army. The first movement text talks about Genesis where Miriam, with timbrel and dance led such an outpouring of joy. Bach puts in the margin in his personal Bible, “Prelude for two choirs to be sung to the glory of God.” Thus the motet, “Singet dem Herrn.)
