In 1936 Poulenc began creating the more sombre, austere tones of religion after returning to his Catholic faith, including Exultate Deo, a motet for SATB a cappella.
Poulenc’s setting of the Psalm 81, Exultate Deo, ‚Sing aloud unto the Lord’, is both reverent and vivid, and his harmonic tricks are used to dramatic ends.
