About Haec Dies
This jubilant motet by Ludovico da Viadana is a powerful setting of the Easter sequence Haec Dies. Scored for SATB choir, it resounds with the joy and exultation appropriate for the season. The text, drawn from Psalm 118, proclaims "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it," a message amplified by the concluding Alleluia. Viadana's music captures the celebratory spirit of Easter, offering a vibrant and musically satisfying experience for both singers and listeners. Its grand pronouncements and fervent Alleluias make it an ideal choice for Easter Sunday services and celebrations, reflecting the profound significance of Christ's resurrection.
