Dies est laetitiae II

This motet is ideal for Christmas celebrations, its Latin text opening with exclamations of joy. The words describe the wondrous birth of a delightful child from a virgin womb, an event that is both invaluable and indescribable in its divine nature. The TBB voicing offers a rich, resonant sound for this sacred music. André Vierendeels’ setting captures the festive spirit and profound reverence of the Christmas season, making it a fitting addition to a choir's repertoire for this significant time of year. The 'II' in the title may suggest a connection or contrast with another related work by the composer.
