About Alleluia, Haec Dies
This vibrant motet by Ignazio Donati, Alleluia, Haec Dies, is a jubilant setting of the Easter sequence. Sung in Latin, it is ideal for the Easter season, particularly for services on Easter Sunday and the subsequent days of the octave. The text, drawn from Psalm 118 and other scriptural sources, celebrates the Lord's resurrection with an exultant "Alleluia." Donati's SATB setting emphasizes the joyous proclamation, with the voices joyfully announcing "exultemus et laetemur in ea" (let us rejoice and be glad in it). It offers a powerful and uplifting musical expression of Easter's central message.
