Exultation was evident by the partying and revelry?

[Torsten]

Could you please help me alter the following sentence so it makes sense:

Exultation was evident by the partying and revelry.

Many thanks,

Hi Torsten,

I could paraphrase this as: The rejoicing was clear to see from all the fun and games that were going on.

I've reduced 'partying and revelry' literally holding parties and people enjoying themselves often fuelled by drink to 'fun and games' that gives the same general picture of jollity. Incidentally there is another expression: having a jolly.

Hi Alan,

Many thanks for your immediate response. I actually was looking for a sentence that demonstrates how the word 'exultation' can be used. Sorry for the confusion...

Hi Torsten

I think exultation is often an internal, quiet sort of celebration. It's often used to describe how one feels, which makes it tricky to try to write a sentence in which the exultation is "visible".

Here's a sentence from the BNC:
Unpleasant and smelly as the operation was, she felt a surge of exultation when she cut the thread of the last suture and surveyed her unconscious patient.

Hi,

Right. I'll have another bash. It is often exultation at, in, over something, a sense of welling joy at what you have achieved. You feel exultation when you realise you have succeeded in reaching your goal, very often achieving this over someone else.
