Adest dies triumphalis by Francisco Valls — Lyrics
Adest dies triumphalis in qua sponsus inmortalis sponsae reddit praemia.
Prosequamur ergo digne, decertantis Catharinae triumphos et proelia.
Virtus ei denegatur, sed de caelo ministratur iugis alimonia.
Alta virgo stirpe sata, Christo fide consecrata, iussa spernit regia.
Iudex motus laniari sanctam iubet et arctari gravi sub custodia.
Per columbam sustentatur, angelorum animatur ad pugnam frequentia.
Convocatos oratores, sua Christi confessores fecit sapientia.

About Adest dies triumphalis
This setting of the Latin sequence hymn Adest dies triumphalis by Francisco Valls is suitable for a major feast day. The text celebrates the triumph of Saint Catherine, describing her martyrdom and divine sustenance during her persecution. The polyphony is written for a large choir, divided into SATB and SSATB sections, creating a rich and complex soundscape. The music would bring to life the vivid imagery of the text, from the initial description of the triumphant day to Catherine's unwavering faith and eventual victory over her tormentors. Its grandeur makes it a fitting choice for significant occasions in the liturgical calendar, allowing for a powerful and expressive presentation of this dramatic narrative.
