About Haec dies
This jubilant motet is intended for Eastertide, setting a text from Psalm 118 which proclaims the joy of the Lord's day. It is suitable for SATB choir singing in Latin. The opening lines, 'Haec dies quam fecit Dominus: exultemus et laetemur in ea, alleluia,' immediately establish a mood of exultation. Ingegneri's setting follows the liturgical readings for the season, with verses for Easter Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, which speak of Christ's sacrifice, and the rejoicing of Israel and the redeemed. The music would serve well for a festive service or concert during the Easter period, bringing a powerful and traditional sound to this significant liturgical season.
