About Haec dies
Orlando di Lasso's Haec dies is a vibrant SATTB motet setting a Latin text for Eastertide. The composer draws from the liturgical tradition, opening with the exultant declaration, 'This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.' The motet continues with verses appropriate for Easter Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, celebrating Christ's sacrifice and God's enduring mercy. Lasso's masterful setting underscores the joyous, triumphant spirit of the Easter season, making it a powerful choice for any sacred choral programme.
