Exsultate, jubilate,
O vos animæ beatæ,
exsultate, jubilate,
dulcia cantica canendo;
cantui vestro respondendo
psallant æthera cum me.
Exult, be joyful,
O you happy souls,
exult, be joyful,
in the singing of sweet songs;
and in response to your song
may the heavens sing psalms with me.
You can hear this music in a recent commercial.
